In pictures #1 and #2, I didn't grind down the welds yet. AND, IN PIC 3, THE CAMERA MAKE'S IT LOOK LIKE ****. IT DOESNT ACTUALLY LOOK BAD IN REAL LIFE, I CAN ASSURE YOU ITS SMOOTH.

Looks like it turned out pretty good, I had to do something similar to my car this summer. I coated the inside and outside with rust preventative paint (I don't remember the name, it's red and eastwood sells it), and then I redid all the undercoating in the wheel wells. Looks much better, and I can rest easy knowing my car isn't rotting away right under my eyes 
Make sure you check the seam between where the quarter panel meets the wheel well too. I had really bad rust and rott all through there too

Ya, my wheel well seem was really rusted out and corroded. So i broke out the torch:rockon: and burned most of it out. This made it easier when i was wire wheeling it. lol im gonna buy 3m seam sealer for that.
