Started the whole body rust replacement. Wow!! Rear sill bushings were gone, hoping someone could tell me how thick they were. Cut up a stall mat to get an idea but I have no clue how thick they were, May have to purchase a kit I suppose. Also you guys that have done this did you have to cut your new panels down to fit? Thanks!

Good on you for saving it. I literally ended up saving tub rails by the time I cut it all out. I can measure tomorrow but I bought a $120 kit for all poly body mounts from Daystsr. Thinking it’s about 1/2”. Lots of options out there. You reminded me I need to up my body thread.
For visual reference. Energy suspension kit installed. Worth the $$$
Forgot to answer your second question but I had Reel Steel panels and some were not matched as well as they should have. Particularly the sill and panels curvature. I think part of it though is variance in dimensions from factory as it’s turning out fairly square top to bottom.
Mostly cut slits on inconspicuous areas (bottom) to relax or in rear bend radius as needed.
