I'll weld the patch flush using stich welding method.

Also plan to practice a lot before I attempt the patch, can't afford to warp the metal on the car.

Unless I find rust in the windshield/ back glass channels, this might be the only welding I do on this car. Hope so.

I'm building a 5-10 footer to drive. Definitely not tearing the car completely apart to do a nut and bolt restoration. No time for that too many other things to get done.

The challenge is going to be finding where the rust begins and ends if you don't have access to the backside. Welding fresh metal to rust is, well...it just doesn't work.

Good point Greg. I'll cut until I get good metal on the backside of cut out metal. Hopefully 1" around rust spot possible more.
