I have started with the first panel replacement. I have an RD panel to fix this spot. the new panel extends over the support. Not sure that I want to cut into the support.
 2 Questions: Can I cut the rusty trunk panel so that I leave the top half of the support as is? I would essentially follow the support flange and then drill holes in the new panel, plug welding it to the flange on the support. My worry is the extra layer created by leaving the trunk panel spot welded to the support. The rot is contained to the middle of the trunk area. Only surface rust near the support and under the reinforcement. Also, is there a special spot weld drill bit I should be using? I removed the center reinforcement with a standard drill bit, but I worry that I am drilling too far into the panel underneath. Thanks for all the help. I have another panel to fill in the factory air holes in the front trunk and will need to do a passenger rear floor pan. That seems like an easier job and may do it first. |
