Every video or tutorial I have read stresses that you should keep as much of the original metal as possible: I suppose an experienced bodyman knows where to start and stop, but I am not an experienced bodyman. Every time I think that the existing metal is fine, I later discover that it is not.

As to the corner patches, I think it cleans up the interior a bit. I have angled them so that they lean down into the cab corner, and I have left a tiny hole there in case - for some reason - water gets in the cab and needs to escape.
