My 74 2.0 was an a/c car I guess. It has the 2 cutouts in the front trunk say 4" x 20" (just an estimate). I have one big replacement piece from another car. So is it better/easier to just make the 2 cutouts one big one & then weld in the new piece? Or just replace the 2 smaller pieces? I have pic below. What did you do? Thanks- Jamie

I think I would cut out the whole piece and put a new one in if you have a good replacement. I think that would make the repair look cleaner since the welds would only be along the outside seams of the pan.
