I'm a decent welder, but sheet metal is a whole different beast. Fortunately, I have some spare panels to practice on.

OH HELL YEAH it's a whole different beast! I have an old friend who is a professional welder. He had a pocket knife with a tiny perfect bead laid on the back edge of the blade. But put him on a car.....OMG I couldn't even fix what he screwed up, OMG! It was a 39 Chevy sedan, I remember it well trying to correct what he did, YEOW.
