Unless you are after a proper restoration, I would trim more from the upper edge of the cut-out to eliminate the remnants of the stock round holes. And then make a paper template after that.

Thanks to all for the quick replies ,brent made a good point about prep trimming which I have to do for the replacement piece anyway,good spotting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Still haven't worked a way to stop sparks going into the trunk ,thinking about cardboard with high temp silver tape which I have and aid that by an old wet towel nearby .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ???. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ???. Got a bit done yesterday,found a part roll of foil building paper and built an enclosed area inside the truck, worked a treat for keeping sparks @ bay. Carefully worked away @ this and ended up with a pretty tidy job (I think) ,had to straighten the panel at the bottom where the remnants of the grommet holes were as I didn't want to cut any lower. Only downside is the patch will need to be folded slightly inwards @ the bottom and then curved to fit the shape of the car. Decided not to use cardboard or tape but will cut a patch and bolt it on using the spoiler mounting holes I can mark it then reduce the fit for my but weld clamps.  |
