Got a question... this is the front end of my outer rocker panel. You can see the pitting and there is a small hole. I have an inside and outside pic. What would be the way to patch this problem ??
Thanks !!

Cut out or cut off Pitted metal weld on good piece.
Now where do you get that piece? Hopefully you can find an original or Aftermarket or as I like to try to do make your own. I am out of here driving out to go get a Desoto Bumper I have been looking for for over 12 years for my 57 Chrysler. Dennis B.

Desoto
What my Chrysler bumper looks like Look I am going for, Hood is going to be a Trick that's a one off home made piece. Parts for these cars are really hard to find as most were parted out for there 392 Hemi engines for Drag racing prior to the 426 hitting the street in 65-66 Dennis B.

Glad you got your bumper Dennis and I'm glad you didn't melt in the process ! Have you got a place out there that can re press the bumper and re chrome it ?? 1964 Galaxie 500 fastback 428 FE

It doesn't need to be pressed just re chromed.
I may go with one of the Members here has a Chrome paint system that uses real Silver in it. Stuff looks like a Mirror when done correctly and its supposed to be really Tuff stuff once applied correctly. Dennis B.
