nice work, are you refitting the scuttle with panel glue so as not to burn that paint? you'd be ok painting the 'inside' of the scuttle panel too that way.

I always start with an Etch primer for bare metal.
Then a 2k primer, dependant on body I might switch to a primer filler

Yes Neil going to use panel adhesive and might get away with the odd spot weld if I can get away with it
Factory spot welds were leaning more towards the front of the lips

have you got access to a spot welder rather than plug welding with a mig/tig? they don't produce any where near as much heat which'll help.

Unfortunately not
I know you can hire them
Might try a couple of plug welds and see if it generates to much heat
