great job; good metal crafters like you are hard to find and I totally agree that more useable metal is cut out of cars than necessary most of the time. My instruction to my guys was to save every pce of original metal wherever possible. I even had them cut a pce about 2" x 5" out of a repop panel to fix a small spot on the drivers floor rather than simply hack the whole thing out and replace it.....it would have been easier, but this was far better IMO.

I think we threw out more lbs of repop metal than we used.....

My passenger 1/4 was hit at some point and it looked like they used a ball peen hammer to beat it back into shape and then slathered it with filler up to 1/2" thick! I talked to the shop about trying to fix it but they convinced me that it was too far gone........I kinda wish I pushed the issue more; sounds like you could have done it.

..keep up the great work!
