Or if the upholstery was stitched in 1931 or in 2018? A quality reproduction body seems to be a better choice than an original rusted out one that's full of welded-in reproduction patch panels. Really, that patched body is not original either!

I also suppose that it depends on who installed the panels! Some craftsmen fabricate and install 'repair panels' while others install 'patch panels'. The name generally says it all!!
