Please don't take this the wrong way, but why are you guys patching it up? I would think it to be a much better way to go with replacing the whole panel. The here and there patches look to be poorly done (in my eyes). Again, don't take this wrong, it is not in any way a slam on you or your shop, I see some VERY nice rides come out of there, that is why I am posting this. This build does not look like a pro build, more like something a normal guy would do in a garage or shop... Maybe I missed a post or reason? Good luck with the end result !
This car is clean just has some rust that needed attention. There is no reason to replace a stock panel if it has some rust in it. Better to keep the car as stock as possible because all the aftermarket stuff you buy fits worse.
If we were to get into replacing all the panels and redoing everything it would drive the price up even higher. Its funny how no mater how you replace something its not right in some poeples eyes.
DOOM might want to step in here and help explain why shops do what they do. you guys are only seeing pics and not what is really there so its hard for a lot of you to get it. Sometimes its better to change out the parts but if you can save a panel and keep a car more original that is the way to go.

Looks great Chris, can’t wait to see it at SEMA! I am guessing you are going to debut your new interior parts (dash, door panels & center console) with this car.
