HKB3 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Looking for ideas to repair/replace/modify/something the outer wheel house. I have a patch panel for the bed side ready to go. I am not sure what I want to do to attack the outer wheel house(the sheet metal between the bed side and the inner bed.) mine has Swiss cheese rust. Right now my options are: 1) continue patching what I have, although I don't like the idea of all those seams 2) modify something from another vehicle to fit, less welding/less seams 3) remove it completely, the only problem I see with this is no support/bracing for the bed side. Looking for ideas from what others have done so post them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKB3 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 None of the pics in that link work. I already have the XJ sheet metal, the XJ is not the same as a Comanche. I was able to use the bed side sheet metal but the wheel house is not even close and I don't have an English wheel and/or planishing hammer to fab up one not to mention time. pics to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
