Test fit panel today. Looks pretty good so far, maybe the best repop I have bought.

There is a 3/16" hump in the middle of the rear seam where it wont lay perfectly plat. Needs about 10# pressure to hold it down flush with the seam. May get better once I clean up all the joints properly, I plan to strap it down during the cure to hold it solid.

I was planning on bonding the rear seam, and welding the front and rear sides. Please share if anyone has input for otherwise.
