Yes tht Wht he is talking about. And if there is any body rust id get tht taken care of and painted to match before it gets worse, thn you'll have the clean look

Well if you want the clean look I wouldn't go with just slapping sheet metal on it. I would have someone weld in replacement panels. My opinion tho

X2 my rear fenders are going as well for 100 bucks for brand new fresh sheet metal that has the factory flair hammered in already its worth it
