Oct 9, 2013 Update

Did a little in the garage tonight.  Decided to go with a lap weld for the drivers side hole.  The firewall bracket is on the opposite side, so I can’t get a copper backing behind it to help with welding it.  So today, I sanded it down and sprayed some weld-thru primer on it (after cleaning the metal).  Still need to cut and form the piece to cover it and weld it in.

Had to sand part of it with sandpaper manually as the disc couldn’t access some of the curves easily:
