Hello,
Does someone have a photo of a finished repair to the AC hole? I'm taking a welding class, and this will be my first project. 1. Should I try a butt weld or do an overlap? 2. I'm not going for a Concours job. Someone else would be doing it if I were, but I would like it to look decent and not look like a hack job. 3. Where should I try to blend this in? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I figure if I mess it up I can then hire someone to bail me out. Many thanks for considering my request. Victor  Attached thumbnail(s)
