Patch Panel Questions........

[sixnine]

I'd like to replace the rockers and maybe the cab corners on my '69 myself. Eastwood has a "weldless kit" that includes a 1" flanger, a dimple tool, panel adhesive, compression pliers, and panel holders. The idea is, with the advances made in adhesive technology, you can use high-tech epoxy to bond non-structural panels. I don't have a welder, and besides, it's cheaper and won't warp the surrounding metal. Now to my question, since you can't use a butt joint with this process, what's the proper technique when flanging panels? Do you flange the edge of the existing metal, or do you flange the edge of the patch panel itself? I'm hoping to get a digital camera soon so I can take some progress pics using this new method for replacing panels. Thanks guys.
