  You might consider keeping the original to preserve the factory spot welds and date codes. You can section the repro to repair the damaged or rusty areas.

Allot of shops have gone from replacing full panels to spot replacement to maintain the original look, sport welds and other smaller features that were commonly lost in the past when full panels were simply cut out and replaced.
