Default Re: Advice wanted: patching trunk flr/inner whl house

Schoney, Thanks for the reply. The one area of plastic you can see is on the existing (old) inner whl house. That plastic was covering the 90' angled metal that was holding inner hse to trunk floor, as factory spot welded seam was GONE.

The old inner house will be cut above that plastic. Can you see along yellow dotted line where I've exposed half the subframe flange. Somebody suggested that would be a good place to have weld seam for Goodmark patch panel. All the remaining floor metal and frame is sound and rust free.

I just cant decide if I should go the work of removing entire old inner whl house (requires cutting loose a couple different support brkts) OR should I just install lower portion of new whl house, welding to OEM upper.........

Also there is some missing metal on front side of shock tower thicker metal, that I will have to fabricate from scratch. This area is pretty inconspicuous when all is done.

My pictures dont show rear most portion of rocker panel, which was rusted badly. I need to either fab rocker metal from scratch or buy repop rocker just to use the end 6" (???)

Thanks for trying to advise...........
