If I was welding in patch panels that are in the smooth part of the bed sides then they would need some finesse to make them look good before a good coat of paint is applied? Any thoughts? I appreciate the help.
A repaired panel is exactly that, a repair.It will still need filler to smooth it out. If a new side panel cost $2000 then it would be worth your while.
