Need some opinions

So I'm shaving the firewall on my 73. I was originally going to just fill the holes and got as far as making all the templates. I made the mistake of cutting the lip off of the big hole for the a/c and it made the firewall very flimsy and it distorted some when I welded some of the smaller holes. So I bought some 16ga sheetmetal and got a template made and cut it out. I really like the way it looks now. I bought a porterbuilt firewall plate to graft into the flat 16ga but looking at it now I am torn so I need some help.

Option 1: Flat 16ga no porterbuilt panel
Option 2: Flat 16ga with porterbuilt panel welded flush to the 16ga panel
