well from what I understand my guy had to cut out all the rusted area from the panel underneath where the dash panel sits.


Then he took a piece of sheet metal, cut it to fit, then welded it on so the dash panel would just sit down on it without having to trim it. But I cant say for sure that he didnt have to trim any of the new dash panel away because I did not see the new piece welded on before he put the dash panel on and dont remember if he said he had to trim anything away.
