I begun stripping the engine bay of the truck bed liner since all it would do is get filthy and be a PIA to clean.

I've decided to go back and change a few things, try and push to get the engine BAR'd and see how that goes & fix any short cuts I took in the previous years since the car isn't going to be sold... well.... ever.

So I started disassembling the rear & spent about 3-4 hours drilling out the spot welds, exhausting but the seam sealer was worse than drilling. Still need to run a wire wheel over a couple spots with surface rust & seam sealer. Then go ahead and clean up the few edges before tacking in the new panel and confirming fitment. Overall I understand why places charge around 1k-1500 for this kind of a job, but lucky for me wire wheels & a spot weld bit is only $10.
