you talking about this?

as you can see i just tack welded in the inner plate first, then not pictured, but i then took some left over steel and cut it to fit and made sure it sat flush in the hole(using tape to hold it so it didnt fall in) then tacked it and removed teh tape and welded the whole thing together using spot welds. and for that piece if it was raised up it would cause rubbing issues so it has to be flush along the edge of the trunk. i dont have any pics of it afterwards but i got a pic where u can see somewhat..
