Bed panel dillema!

Ok, long story short:
Bed panels have rust (Obviously)
Little cash to play with

Is it better to just trim the metal and replace w/ more metal?
or better to order the replacement panels?

Thanks all

Chaosracing is gaining momentum as a positive member of FTE.
Where is the rust located at? What year truck? What kind of body experience do you have?

In most cases it is probably easier to buy the replacement panel and weld them in. But sometimes depending on where the rust is, you can do the job with regular sheet metal.
