Back to Truck stuff lol

So I removed the driver side lower door sill to replace it and typical rust under it. I am looking at bending some sheet metal to correct it. I have partial floor replacement panels, but not enough. My issue is i need to replace a small portion of the Driver side kick panel and floor board. So, I think i need to brace the door by welding in some bracing for all this work on the driver side. I was thinking of getting some small square tube and just weld it across the door opening towards the lower half, thoughts?
