66 tail light patch panels

I am hoping to get some good info on this. I need to replace both tail light sections on my 66', turns out the Originals are heavily made up of "bondo".

I have the new ones in hand, but I am not entirely sure the best way to go about removing the old ones and how the new ones are welded back on?

Anyone have any info, or is there a thread here covering it? video? any info will help!!

I just cut mine to fit where my bad metal was. About 1/3rd of the tail light opening and down. About 1/2" around the bed side as well and to the tailgate opening.

Re: 66 tail light patch panels

Other wise, cut the originals out and use panel bond to secure the new parts.

Panel bond?

never used it, gluing body parts on doesn't sound appealing either.

There HAS to be some one out there that has replaced these panels before...anyone??
