Re: Body work advice needed

I would start with Martin's advice, but I would also hang the fender on the truck and check your door gap. A lot of these patch panels don't have the same shape as the original, some fit really well, others not so much. When doing sections like this I like to hang the fender on the vehicle and tack the new section in place. This way I can set the gap as straight as possible.
Also, take your time welding and check for warping as you go and carefully hammer and dolly as needed.
Happy metal working!
