Hey guys, new to the site and fairly new in restoring my 68. I have finished up the entire front of the car with new (aprons, frame rails, cowl, side cowls,etc.. and now I am at the floors and moving my way back.
I have the floor mostly out, and have a 1pc full unit to replace it, as well as the piece that goes over the axle (shocks mount to). I'm putting in new rear frame rails/tq boxes and inner/outer wheel housings as well so I can pretty much gut it. My question really comes to removing the support between the trunk and the rear seat. I started drilling out spot welds to remove the piece as one unit but I just want to make sure I have the right idea. Does anyone have any tips on replacing this portion of sheet metal?
Areas of concern since a previous owner knocked out spot welds and boogered up with crap tack welds I am going to have to do some tricky cutting/grinding to keep stuff for reuse.
I guess I'm just looking for some guidance on that rear floor area near the torque boxes, rear tq boxes and that transition piece.
Any pics would be helpful.
Thanks
