(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Guys and gals, I have a painful situation which has arrisan. Look closely at the pics>
My predicament is that I need to replace this area which includes the left cross bar mount.. I have a spare car with excellent metal--I was thinking on cutting this large area out from the spare, trimming it down and marking the cut out area onto this car and then..... Would it be advisable to do like as if I am adding flares (glass) and leave a lip and seam weld it as well as drill holes in the rpl. piece and tack it as well--this would move the mount the thickness of the metal -or - trim it out exact and just seam weld it along the perimiter-- Is there enough adjustability in the front to make up that extra thickness by going the first route??? I sure want it strong enough!! Thanks in advance! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Attached image(s)

I think you would want to seam weld it...
but are you sure this is worth it? If your other car is rust free.... maybe you should save it and make this one the parts car. or buy a 1k rust free shell. b |

First off, that's nothing... you ever see Gint's car lik a year ago? (lo freekin l!)
Replace it in it's plane... keep everything butted... you can make it un-visable... and brag to 'us who know'.. That one spot almost looks like hair, maybe you can sell that to a needy member. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) M |

To any body else --I am going to pull the left front fender and a door sill piece and that portion of the trunk area--if any body wants this car for more donor metal PM me--I might just let you take it from me--it has allot of good panels left.........
