well your about 40% right, but lets mention that you have to, pre pull the sheet metal first, not to mention tear the car down, remove all the glass the interior, the seats, the 1/4 trim, package shelf
and then you spend about a good day of drilling EVERY spot weld and the using a torch to break up the panle bond, and then doing the same thing on the junk yard section
and then fixing all the dents, and then fixing all the dents your going to put in the junk yard panle from removing it from the section
and then dry fitting the panle, and then putting all the parts back on to make sure you have nice gaps, and then taking it back off, to prep the mating flanges and the junk yard panle for panle bond
and then panle bond goes on both new panle and the cars mating flanges, do you over clamp?? no you dont panle bond has glass beads in it that you hear crack when clamped to tight and then the panle bond is no goog and will not bond
and then on the d-pillar or sail panle what kind of joint is used, well you can do a open butt, open butt with backing, a lap joint, a lap joint with spot welds
so please dont make it sound so easy when its not
