I found the rubber padding between the inner and outer skin by grinding more outer body skin off. I can not take all of the rubber out because it is sandwiched between the inner and out skin of the entire wheel well but I got out as much as i could reach and the back side of the outer skin is coated with rust there is an area around the gas fill pipe that is without the inner skin and I can see the rubber sticking out
Do you think it would help to cut off the rubber sticking out and silicone over that seam or just under coat it? I will use the rust neutralizer before I close it up. Which brings me to another question. The hole is 3" by 6" would you use fiberglass cloth or pop rivet a peace of metal over the hole. The inner skin can and will support the mud if that is the way to go with this repair.
