Started mocking up the cab corner on the passenger side with a cab corner I got with a purchase of a boat load parts last year. The panel is actually in good shape, the surface rust on the outside knocked off really easy while prepping for the spot welds so not worried about the integrity of the part. Not sure whom the manufacturer was but the lines and bends had more detail than some of the newer ones I bought recently that came from AMD.

After the first initial cut I as able to clamp it on with a few pairs of pointed vise grips. Then got under the truck to do the outline on the inside where the cut on the body was, open the door and reached in to get the cut lines scribed with a silver marking pencil. Did the cuts and had the part on and off the truck a few times for some air grinder with a 2" 80 grit Roloc pad on it. Once I was satisfied I got it lined up with a couple of strong magnets and hit it with a few spot welds. Called it a day before actually being finished, knowing that the rest will take a bit of work to get it right around the corner. Usually a little bit of slicing and hammering to make it fit properly.
