Finished up the repair tonight. Looks pretty good if you ask me! After the welding was complete I drilled a hole in the top patch and liberally sprayed some internal frame coating. It came with this nifty spray hose. I made sure to snake the hose in both direction so that I got the upper wheel well cavity as well..just in case. I also sprayed the rocker panel area too. Wish I could have taken pictures before and after. It did an awesome job of coating the entire area.
This stuff:
Internal Frame Coating w/Spray Nozzle | Eastwood
After the internals were coated, I painted the outside with two coats of the rust encapsulator stuff and then generously applied seam sealer all over the area...let that sit over night..then painted it with chassis paint.
