Progress update: got the panels marked, cut, tacked on the back side, and starting to spot weld them in along the seam. This process is taking awhile as I'm being very careful to let everything cool off in between so hopefully avoid as much warping as possible.

Crimping tool worked great. Used it to punch a few holes to act as plug welds on the back side but without a 2nd set of hands they ended up pushing the patch panel out a bit, so I cut those off and redid them by just tacking the edge of the panel to the body instead. Might have worked better with a helper but so be it.

Edit: to clarify, I am by no means a body work person. This is my first time working with sheet metal of this size.
