Holy trunk weld batman!!!!!


Once we got the panels matched up and clamped in, I spot welded across the back where the two panels came together. I really had to get in there to see what I was doing. She looked like a spotted mule once she was done. The scary thing was is that I re-moved the gas tank way earlier, which means I was lying in this trunk filled with holes, holes, and more holes. I had to place my feet in certain parts to balance my weight or I would have probably fallen through. She does have nice trunk space though...

Corners meet the end...




Once we put on these quarter panels my father and I knew that connecting everything would be a real treat. We repeatedly went to pictures and sought resources before completing the task. After a few cuts in the after-market panels we were able to close the gap. we will have to patch a few small little holes and weld them in, but after the filler work and smoothing process is done it'll look good. It's been nice not having to look at that rusted back-end. Compare the first photos of Rusty's butt to now and it makes me feel good. Solid...
