I really agree with Trev, make the copies before you cut.
I learnt that one the hard way.

I've done mine with some pics and comments.
Would be in the last few pages of my rebuilt.

Before cutting the rust out i would make new parts to be welded in so you can copy the shape, instead of cutting it up and then saying "I can't remember what it looked like" , Trev .

make thm first out of cardboard, a lot easier to fold, but dont try and weld them in though, then from there, copy them to sheet metal.

but repairs are repairs and here is link for some im doing lately. one recent tool i've purchased that helps heaps for curves is shrinker stetcher. as the lads are saying, prepair sections as you go in, making sure they are correct to the metal thickness if you want 'inline with rest of body repair'. this way you can go from outter panel to very inner and patch you way back out again.
