I have actual patch panels I got from a parts car for a majority of the areas. If I need more than I have, I will try and get some sheetmetal around the same thickness and fab up some patch panels. They will all be welded into place.

nice to see im not the only one with rust in all those places....now when you go to fix it what are you going to do? you mentioned new metal are you just going to get the same guage steel and weld a new piece into place? im curious as to how your gonna go about fixing it. im going to start mine in the spring (too cold around here)

About the color...I went back and forth a lot and I realy like the color I have right now, but I didn't want to drop a few grand into paint and have just a cleaned up version of what I already had. I want it to be like a new car, it has been 5 years with it, time for a change.

If you are spending all that money and time getting the outside right you need to pull that motor and get the engine bay sprayed the same color and do the rest of the undersided areas as well. Nothing looks worse than skimping there...
