Hello everyone,
im new to this forum. im 24 years old and in process of restoring my grandfathers truck as he has recently passed. Its only an 84 ford f250, but has a purpose to me. ive sand blasted the frame and painted it so far and now im on the bed.. the quarter panels are of course rusted around the wheel well. ive looked online and ive seen people buy new panels and line them up with the rusted ones and but weld them.. i want to do it so there is no areas behind the fenders that would collect water or dirt. any ideas pictures or videos are great thank you everyone.
P.s. I know or seen images online were they take a new panel lay it over the old and trace it. Cut the old out and use clamps from Eastwood to hold the panels together and keep a thin gap. But I'm worried about the back side trapping water/dirt
