[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3947755, member: 14646"] Since you have a nice project bronco and already have money and time invested in it I'd do it up right. If mine, I'd start calling around or visiting some salvage yards to see it they have any similar model years (should be half dozen models yer broncos with same body style). If you find one take a battery powered grinder with cutoff wheel or sawzall and cut a section of that area about 3-4 times the rusted out area you have. If you can cut out the whole B pillar of the donor bronco even better. Take it back to your shop and start finding out how much rust you have to deal with on your rig. THen start doing measuments and do just like Capm_Spaulding shows by tack weliding the new panel in place. Grind, weld, grind, weld etc, etc. You took it to a reputable body shop they'd pretty much to this exact same thing. Using a donor bronco will prove a much better repair than trying to match a generic sheet metal gauge and contour. [/QUOTE]
