I was swapping my radiator out and found a nice little hole. This shouldn't be to hard to fix. I'm gonna take a drill with a wire brush on it and go over it, then take some sand paper and emory cloth to it. Then some primer and get a thin piece of sheet metal and pend it to fit and silicone it down ( don't have a welder) then paint over it again. Sound like a plan?

or cut the corner out at a 45' angle and sand/prime/paint it and forget it... If you can't weld it. What about riveting it?

Maybe jb weld instead of silicone, I would say use panel bond like some 3M 8015 but it's pretty expensive and the gun for useing it is like $75, so jb weld n some undercoating or spray paint

Just sand it down and treat it with a rust killer, something that's got phosphoric acid in it. Then scuff that after it's dry and shoot some spray paint on it and forget about it.

What is something with that acid in it that you could get locally? All I can find on google that has phosphoric acid is Coca Cola lol and we've got some iron out that says rust remover but its something like little rocks.

Maybe One Step, it's a rust converter, turns rust into a primer. They sell it or similar brands at any auto parts store.

if there is a sherwin williams paints near you they carry a little bottle of the stuff. Just ask for rust treatment and they should direct you straight to it. Or any automotive store.
