I need a finder scab for the right hand side rear of the wheel
can someone tell me were to get this.

 

a finder scab? sorry im lost

 

Never heard of this part, just what does it do - got a pic of one?

 

its not a pimped out curb feeler is it?

 

Tell us what it is Jeremy! I have never heard this term either....always ready to learn something new!

 

Good one Sgt V it probably is (lol)

 

lol remember they use to give ya set on the house when you bought 4 new W/W tires ... man wheres my fuzzy purple hat

 

back in the day (80s) i could go to the body shop and ask for a scab they would give you a piece of the finder that was most ape to rust out ( the wheel well ) then you could cut it out and weld the new piece in

 

Whats a "finder"? unless you mean fender

 

yea his spelling i noticed is a lil off. but we will figure it out no big deal. i cant spell well either..sorry jeremy cant help you with your scab.

 

Before the summer is out we would like to do some body work as well.
I have been talking to some friends and they tell me you can buy pre made
"scabs" as you call them for some cars that are built to replace area's on a body that are known to rust out.

Idea being that you would cut out the offending area of you fender, rocker panel or whatever and weld this pre made piece into place. I've been told place's like JC Whitney have them but I have yet to investigate.

I could not find an image anywhere but last year when I did my ranger body work we used auto store bought flexible wheel well metal its a flat piece of metal with 1 inch teeth cut into it so it can morph to any wheel well couldent find a pic so I made one up not the best but heres a rendition

 

your quite the artist.. i cant draw a strait line with a ruler.

 

hahahha ya i made that up really really fast

 

In my latest internet quest to find body parts I found this site.

They have everything I need for my Dakota.

Now all I need is the money to buy it
