Final result will probably look great, but cutting up the sheet metal and a lot of metal cuts & welding and body filler will be used there. Just don't drive in the rain or wash to much, in 2-3 yrs. your going to get rust and paint peeling in that area, mostly coming thru the back side to the surface.

Problem is with all that welding on the underside, it really needs to be treated with bead blasting or a heavy wire brush to remove a lot the the slag or welding residue from the metal, due to welding it back together. Then properly treated with quality anti corrossion metal treatment and coating, then painted
