I am planning to cut out all the side well pockets and get it clear back to clean metal. Then reconstruct the side wells with long-strand fiberglass.

Any tips? I know my trusted body guy will sell me good quality products for a fair price. I also planned to slope the new side wells back toward the rear of car so that water will drain back to a water drain.
