Dave- when you re-sking those 1/4s please take a ton of pics. I'm very interested in seeing how that's done. I've never seen it done.
IIRC, its a matter of tack welding you piece in place, then welding it all the way around, grinding it smooth, and finishing it up with some body filler to make it perfect again... of course, i may be wrong.
I'm assuming that but Dave's cuts aren't exactly lazer straight and not at a body line which to my convoluted way of thinking would make things easier? I'm wondering how he marries what he bought to what he has. I'm assuming that he has more trimming of the old body to do?
