It'd be easy to just put a flat piece of metal over the hole, use some sealer & screw it together. Or, weld it in... OR... scavenge the appropriate sized piece from the junk yard and weld it in.
I know, the purist would do the latter but how important is this? I guess if it meant getting more outta the car for sales purposes I'd do the weld thing. I dunno..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) what would you do? ........b |

Bruce,
I was faced with the same dilima when building my car and opted for the original metal over flat plate. There are just too many bumps, curves etc. to make a flat piece of metal acceptable in my opinion. Attached are a couple of pics of my installation. The donor panel was cut about 1/2" over size, slid into place and then marked from the bottom of car. This was done to produce a butt weld and as close to perfect fit as I could obtain.
