Bronkzilla - '79 Bronco

in the wheel well/ floor where it rusted through. see how soft it is

 

[Boggin]

it was pretty soft but i beat all the soft parts off with a welding hammer

 

[iceracer60]

now what i would do is cut it as square as possible then wire wheel it to get as much rust of as possible, get the rattle can primer and just put a coat or two on till you do the fab work at least then theres a less chance of it rusting again right away

 

[Boggin]

yea i was going to start grinding all the rist off tonight but i gotta work so i gues ill go at her around 10pm, keep all the ideas coming

I wonder if the wheelwell and bed floor from a pickup could be used to fix this, easy to find, just cut out what you need and replace whats bad, I know that the inner box is the same for the pick ups through the 70's 80's and early 90's, might be able to find a box with bad rusted sides and a good inner box if its similar to the bronco

damn bud, i bet a lil soap and water would help your cause ALOT. at least see what your workin with and a lil rattle can job.
