Awesome job. What are you putting over the rust and in holes?

process is basically grinding all the rust away then using platikote rust converter (2 coats) then the large hole i used 6 layers of fiberglass (2 thick high quality stuff, 4 cheap bondo kit stuff) then used fiberglass reinforced body filler to make up the right shape then finished with light weight body filler sanding with 120 grit then plastikote high build primer sanding with 800 grit then paint

That looks sick. Now if you get some black or gunmetal wheels or even just paint the ones you have, that would make it even better!

And you should tint your windows, then it would look so sick.
