I'm repairing the battery tray and related hot spot. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)
I need your tech advice on the procedure. I want to first make paper templates and then fit the sheet metal. Maybe hang it with rivets or screws before the big weld off. Stock look is not important to me. Just needs to drain and support the new battery tray and pedestal. I will sand off the remaining surface rust before applying rust converting primer. I'm scratching the naval jelly approach. Also, please post pics of your repaired areas. Here's my project. Thanks, as usual!

Ben's plan makes sense to me. Id prolly also drill out te spot welds for the engine shelf and just pop the $$$ for a replacement from Restoration Design. Taking it off will also give you (DW's LOL) more room to work while you're in there.
