I might take tomorrow and thursday off so i can finish it so i can take it to Good Guys this weekend.

Yep, watch out for heat. It can be a real turd on sheetmetal. Once it's warped it can be nearly impossible to get out without just cutting a new patch. Sometimes you can make a cut in the dip or bulge shrink it or expand it then weld the cut seam. The key is only a little heat in one spot then bounce around with your welds. Takes time but worth it.
