My '73 has what I'm guessing was a dealer installed air conditioning. I removed all the hoses and condenser and plan to purchase the replacement pan from Restoration Design. (Tried looking for an RD video on this, but couldn't find one.)
It would be great to see some pictures of what is considered a proper repair. I'm not a welder and will probably have someone weld it in for me, but still want to be educated on how it should be done and what it should look like when complete. Also, are these parts worth anything or should I toss them? I don't have the compressor, but do have the vent/evaporator. |

Yes, the piece is butt welded then ground flat, and the welds skim coated with metal-2-metal filler. I cut back the opening to use most of the repair pan since there was a lot of surface rust around the opening. I wanted to make sure I was into good metal before welding it in. You may not need to cut out as much metal as I did if the metal is in good condition.
