I have gotten this far with the removal of the wheel well with the help of my cutting wheel. How do i get in the back and get the spot welds drilled out?

Oh i thought this was a place where i could get advice may bad....

 

Come on..somebody's bound to have done this?!?

I'd think you'd go in from the inside to drill them out, but I've never done one.

 

Well, We did this on our 70 Fastback and the outer wheelwell was seam welded to the inner wheel well. We just used a grinder with a cutoff wheel to cut as close as possible to the seam. Then when we put the new one on and welded it to the existing seam.
After looking closer to your pics it appears that you are also removing the inner wheelhouse. You should be able to get all of the spot welds from the outside as well as the inside.

 

I have the body panel book at home. I'm on my Smartphone right now at my cousins house. If no one has anything to add when I get home I'll look it up.

 

Thank you very much Grimm

 

I checked the book and there were no clear pages that showed the welds from the inner panel to the trunk.

For some reason I cannot upload the pictures of the pages I scanned. I will PM them to you. I hope they help out.
