Hey guys, with living in the north we all fight a little rust once in a while, thanks to our good friend salt. This past winter the cancer started on my rocker panel.

So with a short budget I decided to patch it instead of replacing the whole rocker panel. I picked up a roll of aluminium and some rivets and went at it!

after getting it all riveted on i clead up some of the rust that was still lingering and used body fill to cover and touch up.

After sanding the body fill down smooth and sanding the rest of the rocker down, i sprayed a black primer and paint. then followed with a couple good coats of clear coat.

Im hoping this doesnt come too bite me in the A** later down the line, but as of now it does the job. Thought id share my weekend work with you all.

Nice, kinda think you're asking for trouble though without removing the rust that's underneath, rust breeds rust
 
exactly where i think i screwed up, I picked off what i could and filled the hole with bondo but the little bit i left might come back to bite me
