Aren't patch panels pretty much a fact of life on 30+ year old trucks?
I wouldn't bother welding them. No matter how good of a welder you are, the WILL be SOME warpage. They have epoxies now that are so good that the steel will rip away before the glue lets go. No warping from the welding. Of course, there are other instances where welding is a must.
