Hey guys. First panel patch in the rear quarter of my 64 skylark. Is it best to weld my patch from the front or best to weld from in the trunk and hide the weld? What's best?

Weld from the outside. You are going to dress the weld down anyway - it will be fine. Plus you want to be able to see if everything is lined up and straight as you go - hard to see when you are in the trunk.
