The kick panel was next. It really needed a lot of work to fit between the floor pan and the pillar. I ended up cutting the pillar out because it had some swiss cheese in bad places, but this made it easier to work on the kick panel.

First I cut it to fit and then realized the door side lip was a lot smaller than the original and didn't match up very well so I cut the lip off the old piece and now it fits much better and I have plenty of metal to spot weld to.












The back side I filled in too.






It was not fitting so I ended up beating the thing into oblivion...
















Here is the piece burned in, still need to weld the seam along the floor. I like filling in the floor seams with weld and then using seam sealer over the top of them.








And here is the outside. All burned in. I started welding up the vertical seam as you can see but I think I will stop there and just fill in the rest with seam sealer as its getting hard to weld up in that cavity.






Any thoughts on my methods? This is my first time so opinions are welcome.
