welding tips

Need some insight on getting the warps out of a flat panel repair.
replaced the bottom 4" of a door skin and had to replace a 4x8 in. section in the center of the same door. I skipped back and forth across the butt seam so as not to over heat a particular area. On any of the curved or crown areas prviously welded the shape of the metal has not had the same result. The only thing I can think to do either planish the welds or cut it all out and start over and maybe backing up the edges of the seams with a strape of 1/8" steel tacked on to help hold the shape. Any insight on the would be greatly appreciacted.
