Hi
Been looking at others work, Im left with a number of questions. Once I have fabricated a new inner arch what is the best way to attach it to the new panel? Do I attach a lip or do I leave enough to fold? Up or down? And tac weld or seam? Searched the forum but this seems to be the one bit that's missed out on pictures.
Please help? Cheers

Re: Replacing rear tall panel
I've studied your work, very impressive. I note the drain hole for the shelf at the back of the rear lights. I have fabricated something similar.
Can a drain hole be made for some where behind the tall panel? Say at the bottom of the shelve?
