Beginner welding metal patch panel bdp 17

I'm finally at the point where I can weld on my custom shaped patch panel to my 1971 Chevy K5 Blazer. The video shows me starting to TIG weld for the first time on 20g sheetmetal. I made a few mistakes like blowing a few holes in the joint that needed to be filled, stuck the tungsten too many times, and did a little grinding of a few spots that got too much filler material. Even with the mistakes, I was able to join it to the fender really well so I can finish straightening it.

If you would like to see the early trials, check this video out.
