I just had that exact repair done by 180 Auto Body, owned by Dan Barron, near Five Corners. They did excellent work and I highly recommend them. 771-6451.

Actually, I can't say that your repair will be exactly the same as mine, so you should go in and get an estimate. I'll PM you with my details.

A can of Bondo, a palm sander and some spray paint....what could be cheaper.

Neither of these will fix the problem. With the bondo it will just keep rusting.
What needs to be done is to cut out the spot and weld in a new piece. Then finish it with bondo and primer and paint.
They would probably have to cut out a 6" hole to get rid of the rusted 3" hole.
Try Rams Autobody on Hospital Road. See Tiger.
