a friend of mine replaced the cab corner on my '57, he cut it out the same
shape and size of the patch panel, he didnt cut the patch at all, and butt
welded it up, he didnt use one bead, it did a lot of spot welds with it
until it was all filled in, then he did the same on the inside of the cab.
then after all that he ground down the welds, spread next to no plastic
filler, sanded, wet sanded and primed, it was all done in a day and a half,
its a very nice, smooth patch job, no warps, no bends, no pits.
