I do. You should of seen the massive rust holes my jeep had. They're all gone now!

Did you patch them with a repair panel or bend your own metal to weld in?

not worth it to weld on anything, would take forever to get it straight. I just used some screen material, bondo, and alot of sandpaper. Came out quite nice.

Cool,Norton makes a great epoxy for attaching metal to metal.Glue in piece of metal from the backside of the hole and you have alot less filler and sanding.

I fixed all the rust spots on my vehicle but I was too lazy to sand it down all flush. Sanded it down for a good 15 minutes then just sprayed it, looks good enough for me lol

What did you sand on for 15 min?

I kinda did the same thing, but used liquid nails to hold the screen mesh in place before adding filler. Worked pretty well, and ya can't tell it was even there (and it was big enough where I could put my arm thru the hole(s).

lol, didn't bother at the time. I was using my buddy's air conditioned shop so I was pressed for time to get it in and out - and wanted to stay cool while doing body work.
