curious to see input on this as well,

specially for my 82 t/a as it needs the same thing done, pass side

someone who has done this and took video or pics of old panel removal and replacement installation and smoothing out work, and a list of what products ot use to smooth it out with,(glazing or compound or what) would be GREAT


no,.. it would be the ultimate..

is there anyways to attch the replacement panel to the shell without having a welder ?

no way to counter sink rivets, or anything else ?

attachment of the replacement panel is my biggest concern, that and where exactly to cut the original panel off the shell at

and how to replace the floor bottom of the spare wheel tub thats rotted missing




thanks
