I am thinking of welding a sheet of 16 gauge sheetmetal over the center section of my firewall. In attempting to fill in all the holes, I find the firewall is made of very thin sheetmetal. I have two choices, one is to just weld a 6" X 24" piece of 16 ga. sheetmetal over the original without removing the original section; and the second choice is to remove the center section of sheetmetal and weld in a new 6" X 24" piece of 16 ga. sheetmetal. I'm leaning toward leaving the original in place and just weld a new piece over the old. I was wondering if some of you guys out there with bodywork experience could comment on this project before I start.
