My Eagle needs a little work in the wheel wells. Rusty around the inner lip to the point I need to reconstruct the sheeting to rivet the lower aluminum siding to. Can anyone offer a few suggestions? Thanks

I'll try.....clean the area real good...take the tire off & look at what was there originally,a sheet metal shop should be able to roll you some stainless ,about 16 ga.since it's a compound curve,you will need to do lots of cutting & turning pieces of metal around to fit,not an easy job,and will take some time....hope that helped some

I brought new U profiles from IBP in Fl. You still have some work to make them fit but they look pretty good. Hope this helps.
