I chose to leave the rear 10 inches or so of my factory rocker since it was in excellent shape and I like to save all the original metal I can ! I also like to cut a panel where it leaves my weld on a bend to keep it cleaner (in my opinion) after trimming your patch panel lay it over the original panel and mark it off to give you an exact pattern to cut out.

Those clamps are the $8 ones from Harbor Freight and I must say I cant believe I haven't had a set until now, they are Awesome !
