Still getting ready to install q-p. Today was clean up, weld holes shut and install the original trunk drop.
wire wheeled the rust on the inside for undercoating.
I cut thru this with the plasma while removing the tail panel. Also looks like the factory had the spot welder in the wrong place the first try. 5 dents and heated spots in line with the cut.
Used my copper backing plate on the cut.
Went all the way around, welding spot drill depressions/holes for a solid surface for reuse.
found the date stamp December 1966. Car was built second week of Feb.
All welds knocked down.
Shot it with undercoating before lunch.
That was dry when I came back, so welded it on. I knocked down the welds on it and the pan to frame rails, so I wasn't throwing grindings in the drop later.
