Default Ok, here is the meat and potatoes of the '90 graft surgery

In principle, you line up tabs that go inside the existing structure with existing holes; new holes are drilled and lined up to align new structures to existing structures....then everything is plug welded so that it will be strong and smooth.........before final welds are in place, the doors, and all roof gaps, etc......will be carefully checked.

Don't forget to plate the weld joints for future stability. It looks like your body man knows his stuff.

Based on those photos, I will stick to mechanical work / repairs, as that would take my last good nerve, and last ounce of patience.

Good luck!!
