Quarter panel rust
 
Does anyone have a rough estimate how much it would cost to cut out rust on the quarter panel the size of a palm and weld in new sheet metal? Just recently got my first classic and she's a 68er so would like to get rid of some of this visible rust

Congrats on your investment! Through the years I have tried many ways of riding my cars of rust. I know money doesnt grow on trees, but the best true way is to replace the panel, with a Ford item, not repo. I fixed a spot on my 68 coupe at the bottom just behind the door. Cut out rust utill all was left was clean metal........it came back and it was only about 4 X 4. cut it again bigger............it came back.......Rust is like cancer and the only way is to remove it entirely. save yourself some heart ache and replace the quarterpanel..........

Do you have any preferred sites to buy my parts?

Its been a while since I had to buy ford panels. I dont know if ford discontinued them or not. I will check because a buddy of mine has a Mustang restoration parts business and i believe he told me someone bought Ford's dies for their sheetmetal stamps. Let you know soon.
