One of my first jobs was working in a body shop. My boss would buy rusted cars and have me pack the holes with wadded up newspaper and bondo over it. The cars would look great. Then every Wednesday he would take the cars to the auction.

You should look into getting some sheet metal clamps. They space the panels out the proper width for the weld and they align them flat. This way you can fully setup the seam flat before welding. It’s all in the prep. With enough practice and flat disc grinding you’ll end up with invisible seams.

This is a question not a criticism; it's hard to tell because of the edit but it looked like you welded the patch panel over the reinforcement after having ground portions of the reinforcement bare. Is it not necessary to coat the bare portions of the reinforcement with some kind of protective coating (weld through primer?) to prevent the new reinforcement panel from rusting from behind?
