Has anyone done the sheet metal replacement in the trunk area.If so whats the extent.Any photos? It seems hard to find sheet metal repair photos/video ect.Any help would be great

 

If you head to my webshots link in my sig I did some rear sheetmetal work.

 

I replaced the floor/drops and the rear trunk lip. Check out my links for pics. Did you have a specific question about it?

The pics are on the second link down page 6 and 7.

 

Thanks for all the pics.I have a question on were to place jack stands to support the car while working on the trunk area

 

I did the frame rails too. I jacked the car up under the pumpkin and put jack stands on either side under the touque boxes (right in front of the springs). I let the car down onto the stands but did not take all the weight off the pumpkin. I cut the shackles in the back and let the rear end down a little more but still left the jack in place. I did it this way so I could make sure the frame rails were in correctly. After I tacked them in place, I could jack up the rear end and springs to make sure they were lined up right and everything went together. Then weld them in solid.

I did this after I repalced the floors, toe boards, and torque box on the pass side. So the bottom of the car was solid.

If you have a vert, I would think about putting in some bracing in the door openings. The stands are almost in the middle of the car and that is quite a bit of weight hanging out there.

 

wow cfd i was checkin out your pic and you had some BAD rear rails!
