Gerahead's 71 Dart
This is the gap that I was referring to in the previous post on the pass rear extension. You can clearly see the gap between the cap and the quarterpanel.
Add some welding wire into the gap . . .
And after finish grinding . . . .
Now there is a perfect fit between the two parts!
When I replaced the spare tire well, I had not replaced the fuel tank hanging bracket. When I placed the bracket into the slots, there was a huge gap between the bracket and the slots in the pan on the top right corner of the image. I have no clue how this would have occurred, but this bracket was really slathered with seam sealer when I removed it.
I did not think that this space could be easily filled with sealer and my ADD/OCD tendencies took over. I cut and welded in some steel to make the bracket more closely resemble something rectangular. Now the fit it much better and only a small amount of sealer will be needed to make it look like it did when it left the Windsor plant.
Now I just need to drill the holes in the pan to plug weld the bracket back into the floor. L8r
