Hi All. I am looking for some advice on how to stitch in a rear boot floor repair panel. The panel spans the width of the car and is probably 6 inches deep. What would be the best way of letting this panel in? Do I joddle the edge to fom a lip, stitch weld and then in-fill when cool to avoid distortion? What do you guys then do with the underside? Weld, linish then fill?? I am looking to carry out the repair to a good standard & I have atience by the bucket load!
Any advice welcomed as not tackled this kind of repair before. Thanks in advance. Mark

most people just make a mess of fitting these panels..ive got a few cars,which are older restorations,,that have these fitted

but theres no rust,and have the patina of an older resto,,so i live with them,,,,
