Yeah, its not as bad as I thought and as bad as I've seen online. I think I will be able to patch a lot of the existing panels on the core. I might get a new set of inner fender aprons just because they are torn up and rusted in some hard to repair spots, but we'll see.
This is my first dive into bronco sheetmetal and body work in general so I'm learning as I go.
I was planning on trying to coat as much of the backside of some of the problem areas with something like por-15 or chassis saver. I was planning on just trying to repair the existing kick panels and probably replace the bottom of the front of the door posts. I guess it would be best to just remove it and the front floor boards to give plenty of access to the back of the door posts. Is that the best/only way to get into the door posts to coat them?
You can see part of my welder in the first picture I posted. I have a Millermatic 251 w/ spool gun. It is able to do about everything I want in a MIG.
I'll see how far I can get, but I might have to have a wrench party at some point to get some expert help :xyxthumbs:
