Hand hammered panels

Thanks, guys!

I'll admit I cheat a little. I cut the rust out back far enough that I can cut just one large, intact piece of metal. Then I'll flatten out the metal and trace it out on the new metal. Then re-form the new metal to look like the old one. A little trimming to get it just a hair smaller than the hole it's going in, then I butt weld it in and grind it smooth so the repair is seamless. That's pretty hard to do without the car here.

I just bring this up as an alternative to expensive, inferior parts.
