Here are updated progress photos: The inner panel I fabricated for the drivers side, it got welded to the original from the back side. Photo of the backing for the patch panel. I thought it was pretty slick to cut off a inch or so from the patch panel just above my infill cut, then screwed it to the original, screw the patch to that, adjust the gaps and alignment then welded. Photo of the panel primed, bondo will take care of the rough spots, it looks like the maximum thickness need to make it smooth will be less than 1/16". Drivers side lower hinge before and after cutting out the bad and rust treating with POR15.
