Thanks guys for all the suggestions and tips on these patch panels. I'm
leaning a little bit to the butt weld method because of the rust factor
and not having a flanger. I only have to cut out the bottom 4 inches so
if I screw up the cut on the first try all I have to do do is make a
second cut a bit higher and cut the patch to fit exactly. I'm doing it
on the weekend, I'll post my results.
