Starfire quarter panel repair

Here is a pic of the left front quarter panel patch I made from a 63 Impala patch panel. The 63 panel was about 3 inches short, so I had to cut, fit and weld to fit. I'm also including some pics of other repairs in the inner wheel well and and pinch weld area.
These repairs are on my 1962 Starfire convertible.
Any opinions, good or bad will be welcomed.

Looks like your handy with a welder and improvising, not an easy skill to learn.

Repair

I am getting ready take the Starfire to the paint shop. If I had to do it again I would let them do the repairs. To much time and work for a novice tin pecker and finding parts is impossible.
