I did mine by taking measurements off the metal in the rusted, original state. Also used a cardboard box to trace a template of the original curvature.

From there, I cut out the inner first. Then I cut the outer and worked on getting the outer back in place first. You want to be able to have room to hammer and dolly the outer since that's the spot everyone will see while not as many people see the inside panel. After I was comfortable enough with the outer fit, I started fitting the inner.

My repair is far from perfect, but it's a heck of a lot better than the holes that were there before.

While you have the bottom open, take a little time to clean a little and shoot some paint up inside to help at least slow down continued rusting
