The expanded productivity experiment failed. I was attempting to improvise a suitable resistance welder from the bits on hand. It was a no-go but worth a try because of how much labor it would save if it were viable with existing equipment. I sure gave it heck.
Here are some plugs for the pluggers. I took the package tray out and prepped then welded it into place. At least the front half, anyway. Next, I may weld the gutters in. If the quarters will slide in and out with those attached, it would help retain dimensions when both quarters are off.
If not that, for sure I'll tack a tab on the right outer wheelhouse I sliced so it holds still. Then off with the right quarter and patch that up, and fuss over the rest of the exposed structure before weld prep.
