Now this is something that most FC owners can relate to. The quick fix guy would smear some Bondo over the offending areas, take a board sander to it and we’re good to go but that way ALWAYS comes back to haunt you. This will be addressed in a fashion where the “Tin Worms” will be gone forever.

The decision was made to be sure to remove any questionable metal to be sure rust was under control. Kevin uses a cut off wheel to remove the metal and has access to metal forming tools to help create the patch panels needed for the job.
