Re: Since the Detailing Forum also seems ot be uncouncious... (MattTheFatCat)
dude,
i have to say, you've opened up a can of worms by grinding.
on my 85 jet I started doing that one day
(rear fender, where that little piece of trim is supposed to go)
by the end of the day i had ground out all of the rust.. but I had also completely ground off the fender lip for the front half of the fender.
I then rebuilt the whole thing with some fiberglass, galvanized steel plating, and bondo.
Here it is ready to be painted:

it was a whole hell of a lot of work to get it to look decent..
and i still wasnt satisfied with the result so i covered it up with flares.
it was my first experience with body work and it took me four, 16 hour days to do everything
(pulled out a heavily dented left rear quarter and bondoed it smooth, ground right fender fiberglassed it, ground all rust holes off trunk and ass end of car, and debadged it, and painted it)
