Well, despite what everyone said I cut out the badly damaged panel and welded in a new piece. I had the piece laying around and it seemed the right thing to use it for. Here are the results. Not too bad for my first time. Here is the spot cut out.

I had a piece about 2x8 that I clamped to the metal with some fancy vice grips with big jaws. Then I just welded in the holes one at a time. Did a lower one, then went to the other side and did one and then came back and did a top one and so on till they were all done. Piece of cake. Thanks for the tips guys.
