I am replacing the portion of the longitudinal in the engine compartment. I have painstakingly cut the replacement panel to fit (a little here and a little there) and when I have finally gotten the panel to sit more or less flush with the old metal on the inside face (see first pic below below) The flange on the back side is missing the wheel well panel by 1/4" (see further below) Is this just a simple case of "beat to fit, paint to match" or should it be a closer fit?
Any help would be appreciated |

you can have up to 1/8 inch gap between the panel but the closer the easier it will be to weld,, you can do a samll spot where the fit is good and pry , convice the better fit , as you go ,, spot then do one 6 inch further, line it up spot, do the same again and again,
