Instructions:
- Confirm vehicle fitment (1968-1974 Chevy II / Nova) and inspect the trunk area to identify all rusted or damaged metal to be removed.
- Remove trunk trim, mat, spare tire, and any items obstructing access to the repair area.
- Use a drill with a spot-weld cutter or an angle grinder to remove spot welds and cut out the corroded section along original seams; preserve as much good metal as possible.
- Test-fit the replacement panel, trimming or adjusting as needed for a snug, gap-free fit against mating surfaces.
- Clean mating surfaces of rust, paint, and debris; clamp the panel into position and tack-weld in multiple locations to hold alignment.
- Complete welds using short stitch welds to minimize heat distortion; allow cooling between welds and use a hammer/dolly to correct any warpage.
- Grind welds smooth where desired, then treat bare metal with a rust-inhibiting primer or weld-through primer.
- Apply seam sealer to all joints and seams, then finish with epoxy primer and topcoat to match the trunk interior.
- Reinstall trunk components, verify fit and drainage paths, and inspect the repair for proper sealing against moisture intrusion.
