Thanks jaros44sr for the advice. I decided I will try the folding over of the patch panel, so I took out that floor section up to the seam. I realized I need a lower piece of kick panel so I ordered those. In the meantime I decided to go and work on that back pillar with the rocker box reinforcement plate. I installed the new plate, but thought I could patch the pillar part on this side. I will load a picture of it, unfortunatly I am NOT an elite welder. I patched the lower part of the pillar and made a new bolting flange. I probably should have bought a new part, but hopefully this will work. I sprayed everything with a rust inhibitor (phosphoric acid I think) then a weld through primer hoping that will help hold back some future rust. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas on if I should change anything please let me know. Thanks.
