Default Learning to weld - replace trunk pan?

I’ve done a little welding with my Hobart Handler 140- mainly spot welds which I feel pretty comfortable with. I plan to continue practicing and would like to replace the center trunk pan and a gas tank brace in my 69 bird next winter. Is this typically a very difficult job I should leave to a pro? Any tips or pitfalls?
