I hear you, then how about not replacing the whole skin? Either making or buying a patch panel or if one isn't available buying that repro skin and using the bottom foot of it, and tossing the rest in the garbage?

This is one thing I see often people will have a few inches of rust and get a patch panel that is a foot tall and using the whole thing instead of just replacing what is rusted.

Now understand, I am talking in generalities here, I have no idea what so ever how bad your rust is and all that. I am just referring to what I often see on the net.
