Paxton and I were in the shop late tonight working on the trunk lid. In a previous post we discussed the necessary repairs. I showed you a photo of the patch panels I had fabricated. In the photo to the right, Paxton is removing the rusted panel. You can see two of the patch panels I made on the right side of the photo. There are five panels in all and they will be installed one at a time in order to maintain their correct position.
The photo to the left shows the first patch tacked in place.
After the three lower patch panels were tacked in place, we test fitted the structural panel on the inside of the trunk lid to confirm correct positioning.
It was a perfect fit.
The corner pieces will be attached and all the panels will be stitch welded tomorrow.
Stay tuned,
Tom McCurry
