With the trunk corners done, I am on to the list of remaining small tasks.

Bob....mine is removable.
Plus I had it ceramic coated to keep the heat out of the rear trunk.
Unsure if that worked or not, but the theory was sound. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'll have to see if I have pics from my build.
But just think....screws to hold the shield to the standoffs.

Thanks, Doug. I remember that from your build, and it has me thinking.

No real work today, but I did look over the body shell again, and found a few more things for the list.

I got started on the muffler shield. I want this to be bolt on, but no holes in the trunk floor. I removed the 6 original legs and fabricated 2 brackets with bolts welded in as studs.

I really like this idea and glad you made the extra effort to do it this way.

Thanks, me too. The shield sits in the stock location +/- 1/4 inch. And it seems plenty rigid.

Are you putting seam sealer in the pan seams?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I've been contemplating best way to do as well. I've been running without it for the last few weeks, but it probably needs to go back on. I like this approach.

That is part of my plan, both brush-on and spray-on.

I decided to weld the U-holes in the passenger floor. I would rather have the simplicity than the original details.

And now onto the channel for the weatherstrip around the frunk opening. First, identifying all the rusted segments. These include the front edge (pretty much all on the inner side):
