About 7-8 years back, I cut a good piece out of a rusty cab that a tree had fallen on. I cut out the old one at the edge of the lip where the headliner trim attaches. It turned out OK, but I'll probably redo it since my MIG welding skills weren't that good at the time. I was thinking about getting one of the repro pieces, as well. Close to the lip is a good place to cut, since the bend provides stiffness and helps prevent any warping.
