Panel repair?
I tried posting this in the paint and body section but didn't get any responses. The PO had a plastic bedliner in the truck and it has some bad spots in it, mainly on the front inside of the bed. My plans call for Line-x or Rhino Lining the bed, would a rust converter like eastwood sales be good enough to prevent it from rusting more? I can't see any holes where it has rust through. Or do I find a good replacement and put it in? What else holds on the front panel other than the bolts you can see? Here is a pic of the worst spot in the bed:

Re: Panel repair?
Best thing to do is remove panel and use POR or Zero rust on it following instructions on the cans, then hang the panel loose, spray it with bedliner and while the bedliner is still wet, tighten her up good. Never rust again. jim
