Metal Worx, Fun hatch Project

Well I decided the spare tire well is dead area and really not that useable as it sinks into the body instead of running flat so I decided that at the end of this month when we get some new welding equipment at my warehouse that I am going to cut all that wasted metal out and weld in a flat sheet of metal so I can use 100% of the area back there for things like battery relocation and some other things I plan on toying with.


If anyone has seen this before lemme know so I can get a feel for the look.

ah not really , after the replacement is welded in just have to reinsulate the outside with the undercouting and I will dynomat the inside like 85% of the rest of my car =) but i'm running dual resonators right now so exhaust won't be an issue and dynomat + undercoat with insulation should eliminate road noise.
