REPAIRING THE TRUNK STRUCTURE

The trunk floor is an integral part of this car's structure.  There are several struts that connect the floor and the body panel support.  One of these struts had rusted at the welds and had separated from the trunk floor.  The photo to the right shows the small patch panel that was welded to the trunk floor.










The photo to the left shows the strut that was removed from the trunk frame and repaired.  The tabs on the end of the strut were fabricated and welded in place.













The strut is again fitted to the trunk floor and will be welded in place tomorrow after primer is applied to the underside.















Stay tuned...
