Oh Dear.
Are you using an arc welder or a Mig? Arc welders are pretty vicious on thin steel but Migs should be much more controllable.
I’d spend some time practicing. But if all else fails pop rivet the repair panel on. At least it will be easy to take off when the weld repair is done.
Oh and by the way only use weldable primer on any repair you do. No underseal or other goo. You don’t want to be cleaning that off the steel before the final welding .
Cheers
