[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1614733, member: 5381"] I bought a round front trailer once that was caved in right behind the tongue and the aluminum overlay piece was bent all to hell. After removing the aluminum piece I could see where a lot of rust was forming. I beat out the large dent, sanded the rust down, primered and repainted with a roller a thick coat of rustoleum over the whole front. I then covered the rusty area and most of the dent with a piece of 16 gauge galvanized metal. I riveted it to the existing metal. It was still holding up when I sold it 15 years later. I don't think I would try anything thicker than 16 gauge. [/QUOTE]
