Today I fit and welded in the rear pan section. I believe this is the only piece I have installed that won't need filler on it. I somehow misplaced the two inner braces that keep the pan from flexing, so if I can't find them I'll have to reorder a set. I spent a couple hours welding up all the engine compartment tin from underneath, and also fabbed up another inner wheelhouse patch for the right side. They aren't going to be the prettiest wheelhouses, but since parts aren't available, there's no other alternative. I still have to grind down a bunch of welds in the engine compartment, but need to round up a smaller grinder with a 3 inch wheel to get at the tight spots. As mentioned before, the trunk, hood and doors need to have the inner flanges sandblasted, but other than that, the rust repair should be complete and now the bondo work begins.
