WOW! That's fast progress! Looks really good! Your patch is very well cut and fit. The pic might not have done it justice, but it looks as though you didn't do a lot of grinding to bare metal before you welded. Any more repairs like that, make sure you grind at least a half-inch in from each edge to be welded. You'll have a stronger weld and less sizzling and spatter. Unless it's just a bad picture angle or my old eyes are bad. Either way, this project is awesome! Keep up the forward momentum!
