Looks good Tim. What size holes do you use for plug welds? The reason I ask is because I spent Thursday afternoon and Friday making a nice sheetmetal closeout panel for my firewall and it warped bad when I welded it. I then spent Saturday cutting it off to make another panel. I used 5/16 holes and I think they caused to much heat when I welded it. Think I'm going to try 3/16 or 1/4 holes next time.
This is what it looked like before and you can see how bad it looked after I welded it.
