i might just cut out the bad metal, shoot it full of rust stopper, then weld in a patch and paint it.....

Do the Iraqis work cheaper? How did you get your truck over there? :scratch:

When they cut that open, they may find the hole is 6 times as big. Welding in a patch is the way to go, but like CP said, it will most likely rust thru again. Slobber that rust converter stuff in there all you can.
