I washed the truck a few days ago now that I think the worst winter the Midwest has seen in two decades is over.
My patch in the PS fender cracked and the patch in the PS bed side is trying to crack again. If a "next time" comes around, I'm welding a solid bead and getting paint and undercoating on the back side of the weld somehow. Rust free sheet metal would be ideal, but prices for such are way beyond what I'll spend.
Also I should have used up the rest of my paint to make the top coat thicker. Some chips have showed up, but where I took it down to bare metal and applied primer it's sticking very well.
