quarter panel rust question
while doin some work on my del sol today i saw i had more rust in the quarter panel than previously thought. i also have it on the rocker panels under the side skirts. ordering the rocker panels from a place like majestic honda is gonna be 130 a piece plus a crazy *** shipping fee. my girls bro in laws, bro in law owns a metal place and they throw out a lot of scrap metal. he says he can get 3/8 inch metal and cut out the rust and weld that in.
my question is would 3/8 inch be too thick? if so what should i use and what kind of metal?
also iv looked on fixmyrust.com but they didnt have any panels for a 93 del sol.

Re: quarter panel rust question
ok so ill have to use standard steel. i forgot about welding two diffrent kinda metals and all that. would i be able to spray somethin like a truck bed liner or anything similar underneath the car to keep it from rusting again? and what else could i do to prevent rust?
