Tried my hand at rot repair 1st time. Thoughts?

71 k20 cheyenne, had rot in the outer rocker, inner kick panel, floor, cab pillar etc.

I have never done this before, but after multiple videos and build threads here and some general fan experience I gave it a shot.

I'm using a mid 70's millermatic 35 that I'm trying to dial in, but I'm ok with how its turning out.

Any thoughts? How does it look?
Everything is lining up very well, and all cancer is gone. (The floor is just surface, not rot)
