Firewall refinement

The 3A tub firewall was crudely clearanced for the Ford V8, which is fine, but I'm not impressed with how the various individual panels overlap.  Lots of jagged edges and clumsiness.  To get me some more practice at welding, I decided to neaten things up a bit and add to the tub's overall integrity.

The gaps in the overlapping panels are not acceptable, so as you can see in the pic below, I'm trying to trim the excess to get some butt-weld opportunities.

Cut off a little more than I should have here.  I'll splice in a patch strip.

Booger welds galore.

 Trying my best to fill in those gaps.  They're getting a bit excessive, but I'm okay with that.

Here's my effort at seam repair.

Just about done.  Not looking to shabby, I must say.

And now I have to grind away for an hour or two.
