G1355: You have replacement panels correct??? They will cover about six inches around the wheel well. You cut the old bed at about 5 1/2 inches out. You then take the flange tool and put a flange around the excising steel. This flange would be back about the 1/2 you left on the bed smaller than the replacement panel. So you now have a relieved flange around the old bed for the new panel to lay in with the outside being flat. You then can spot weld or rivet the panel in place. Then fiberglass the seam smooth.
If you try to match weld the patch in the weld will deform the line of the bed. It will have a wave in it. That is what making the flange helps to prevent.
As for panels the best I have ever seen are form Rust Repair Panels/Mills manufacturing Cleveland , Ohio. They are US made.
