[VAL] Belly Pan Patching



I need to patch a few rips and holes in the belly pan of my '56 Safari 
to keep the critters out. I know it won't show unless you're crawling 
around down there, but I want to make sure I'm doing it right. I'm 
using scrap aluminum, cutting it a bit larger than the hole, will add a 
good size bead of Vulkum around the perimeter and will rivet it in 
place. Is there any need to roll the edges under? Should I round the 
corners? Am I being too anal retentive?
Thanks in advance!
