This will sound like a mean comment, but you really should take some time to practice welding before working on the car. Since you already have started on the car, now that you've seen some of the difficult parts and angles to weld, you should try to recreate those situations on spare sheet metal and get to practicing. As you mentioned in the video, you need to work on the gaps between the panel and your patch piece. I also recommend practicing to get the the patch piece level with the panel because there are some long dead worms there. I'm only saying this because in the future when your skills have improved (through practice), when you see these videos or look at your car, there's a good chance that you will be a little less than excited about the work you did. It seems that you've watched some car restoration videos, but I highly recommend a channel called Make It Kustom. The guy is a master of metal. 21 people have viewed this video and I'm the first to hit the like button.
In all honesty I'm not really concerned if other people like it. This is a car that I'm building for myself and will not be selling. I started with interior panels that no one would see and at this point have done a ton of welding since this thing was thoroughly rusted through. Yes, I've watched that channel plus many others and I'm pretty happy with how this car is looking. Everything is straight, fits well, and shouldn't need much filler.
It worked out great and is holding really well. Ran into a thrust washer issue though that isn't related so will be sharing a video soon about my solution to that problem.
