reworking a fully restored car

Thanks man but the panel is solid and so is the floor around the hole , in fact if you look real close you can see the original green paint peeking out from under the shyte on both sides of the hole and it continues around the end of the hole and up to the panel I think you are talking about, I believe AMD calls it the "Shock Mount Panel"either way it's all good except for that hole and of course the free formed kitty hair parts of the inner wheel house's that will be on the next round of rework after I get this back third solid and new again .
