the comp cut was a joke, it would be a lot more than you would probably be willing to do.

this-

this is a minor example, he cut and folded the metal there in back.

Dude I've done the "comp cut" myself & its not as hard IMO as it would be to cut, patch, fill, primer, & paint!

Come on folks...THINK! Look at the pic in the OP. How is doing a Cut and Fold going to correct the problem? It won't.

The panel is rusted completely through.

If you don't have any experience doing major body repairs, take it to a bodyshop and have therusted material removed and new steel welded in.
