If you're talking about the panel to which the tail lights bolt up to, its not welded but, instead its bonded with that adhesive stuff if not spot welds under the glue. Best bet would be cutting and drilling the holes to line everything up and seal it all up so it dont leak.

the fiberglass peace? that is bolted on and has that black tacky stuff to seal it...? is that what you have to change or is it the peace that it bolts to? pics of what your talking about would clarify things up a bit

Sounds good. Also, a window tint would look great. And if it were me i'd put the other rims back on or get turbines and clean the tires. Good luck with everything.

[Dave84]

thanks... well i got my 79 tails in,, not to bad, the wort part was haveing to put holes in my GM oh well the tails fit now due to doing that,, just had to drill a couple new holes and extend the light socket holes,,, looks pretty good actualy,,, 88 vic, my other rims are off for the winter so thats why i have the hub caps, i have the original turbines off the car so i might clean them up and swap my tires over

[interceptor1985]

That looks cool! I wonder what the black part would look like if they where painted white to match the rest of the car?

[88Vic]
