With the frunk channel done, I switched to the read panel. This was the last bit of bodywork with significant filler (than know of--knock on wood).

Here's the panel before grinding off the filler.

Some dents and dings, and holes from the PORSCHE reflector panel installed by a PO.

The reflector panel holes will get welded, and the stock holed for the original insignia will get cleaned of bondo.

For access to the inside of the panel, I removed the trunk lock mounting plate.

Thanks, Doug. Still thinking positive here, lumps and all.

For better access I unbolted the rotisserie rear upright, with the car on jack stands.

I propped the trunk lid in place, to compare alignments. The lid has its own issues, including a dip along the trailing edge.

Left side not so great. The problem is mostly a "droopy" lid edge.

I worked more today to get things "straight": the top and bottom of the raised boss, and the top edge of the rear panel.

After some moderate metal work, things looked a little better.

Eye-balling along the lower edge of the boss. Ignore all the lumps for now.

When things where looking nearly straight by eye, I rigged up my long level as a reference line. Looking pretty good, with a variance of about 1/16 inch.

But the trunk lid has its own problems, especially along the rear edge.

As I started to work the trunk lid edge, I heard a crunch, and my rust-free lid suddenly had a rust-trough hole. Damn. (See my other thread asking for advice)
