So I have been debating about whether to try and repair my rusted out quarter panels/wheel arches on the B2 and I'm starting to lean towards just buying body panels.
I've never been big on doing bodywork before, but with this truck I want it to look nice. So my question is, if I bought a panel like this one:
http://rustrepair.com/PANELS/84-BRONCO-II-WHEEL-ARCH-BED-968449L.HTM
how would I go about installing it, considering the rear section of the cab is basically all one piece? I am guessing I'd have to cut out the old panel and somehow slip this one in its place and spot weld it. Another big question is how to make it work with the rear window so everything is seamless.
Or, should I just man up and try to fiberglass/bondo/paint the whole thing....
Any info's appreciated.
