Nice! My plan involves a bit less effort I think --- I want to cut out 4 pieces that match the shape of the sheet metal where the outlets and stove holes are. Take those pieces and use them as backing plates and epoxy them to the inside of the van. Cut out 4 more similar shaped pieces from the junkyard panel and use those to fill the outlet and stove holes. I won't need to do any welding and the shape of the filler should match perfectly. A little body filler and I'm done. Just need that panel...
