The only credit I'll take is my photos make first-timers re-think how a replacement panel is used and that wasting most of it by cutting it down is OK!
A metal patch is a metal patch and its not how pretty it looks before paint, rather that a magnet will stick to it after paint! I like to keep as much of the original sheetmetal as possible to leave something to weld to for the next guy in 40 years!
Keep up the good work!

I guess it's like most things. My initial thoughts were that it was a really complicated thing to do. After looking at your photos and your website it looked hard but doable. Now that I've done it, I have to say, it really wasn't very difficult at all. All it really took was attention to detail and patience.
The biggest thing I've learned so far, is that all this stuff is just something you do. If you exercise a little forethought, try to understand the process and are patient, you can really do just about anything you have the tools for.
