best bet is to cut a plate as normal but in 2 parts, 1 big rectangle and another smaller semi circle for the top bit and then just tack weld it in, u will still need a load of filler tough but just get the easy sand on it and 40 grit it dwn and it wont take to long!

Looks good

Just outta curiousity how much are you charging for all the work???

How much would you take for a full re-spray in the same colour as the car no body mods or anything like that except fixing cracked B pillars
