This is the trunk floor drop-off and rear frame rail before the high pressure wash. The lower end seems like something is about to burst out. An Alien maybe ?
This is a picture of the same area after the wash. The one who made this was not the chicken farmer because he would not have wasted this excellent net for Mustang risking his chicken to escape meanwhile.
First thing to do is to make some room for the operation by cutting off the most of the dirt.
The floor has some spot welds to be drilled out. Thanks to the wash they are well visible as the subframe support that I'm so proud of.
The fitting and welding was done pretty much like I did on the driver side except that I first welded the trunk drop-off panel (needs modifications, made in far-east, btw.) and after that welded the lower quarter repair panel and the wheelhouse patch.
The lip of the wheel house is waiting for a couple of patches which will be welded from outside. Now all the concours correct restoration specialists can see a huge mistake here. Yes, the bumber bracket should have been removed and welded on top of the floor. I did not want to do this ( as I did on the driver's side ) because it ruins the taillight panel when you drill it out.
I'll cover the trunk with a carpet...
