I know that patch panel welding has probably been discussed numerous times here. However, I have a 15 minute time limit with my searches! "Weld patch panel" comes up with a plethora of non-related issues. Frankly, I got tired of looking through the posts for my answer.
I finally broke down and ordered the lower rear quarter patch panels for my 67 Suburban. They have not come in yet, but I am trying to decide on how to install them.
Should I overlap the panels (with the new panel inside the existing panel)? My thoughts are to sheet metal screw them together, then weld and grind the seams, then smooth with bondo.
Should I try to get my cuts aligned and butt weld them?
Thanks for the assistance.
