The link doesn't work..LOL I saw it allready though.. It doesn't look that bad to me..

Umm ???

bondo dust all over the place, still has to get wet sanded down and i am repainting the entire truck in 2 weeks...automotive paint!

this is the finished product ?

Around here, most body shops will not even use patch panels in that area. Bedsides are recommended due to salt laying up in there and getting under the patch.

NO whole truck is getting re-sanded, touch up body filler, sanded, primered and sprayed

get some OEM or aftermarket flares to hide that IMHO

My body guy prefers to do entire bedsides, saves time, and gets rid of all the thin spots. Depends on who you talk to though.

that was a quick fix, untill bed comes off and the entire truck is done the right way! I am extremly good at body work when im not rushing! I new it was a quick fix until i got the time to complete and repaint the truck. My father is a 25yr body man so he will be helping on this one!

I hate bodywork, it's never right, normally I just say *** it, sell it and buy a new truck..
