67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Well today was the first day I felt halfway ok in 2 weeks. The Cedar trees were poppin and my allergies were going insane. Never knew my lungs could generate that much snot lol. Anyways I have become quite the expert taking this trunk pan in and out several dozen times to fit, trim etc. Finally got it exactly the way I wanted it to fit, pulled it back out and drilled 1/4" holes in it for spot welds with my unibit. Also fitted and welded the spare tire bracket onto the pan.
I also checked for level across the upper radiator support and across the rear framerails before pinning the trunk pan in place. I adjusted and shimmed my jack stands to make sure the car frame is level and square at both ends. As you can see in the first pic, the lower radiator support will also require replacing at some point in time as well.
Got the underside of the trunk pan sanded down and epoxy primered. Then i dropped it back in place, and used self tapping screws to temporarily pin it in position. If all goes well around here I will weld it in tomorrow evening. Heres todays pix.
