    Hole in Trunk

    Well guys I'm trying to figure this out I backed over a gas line with my panther and knocked a good hole in my trunk pan about a foot long by an inch wide so what could I do cause of coarse when it rains the bottom of the trunk gets water in it. What can I do to fix it?

    weld in new metal? or pop rivets and some sort of sealant.
    Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will promptly forget that he once did not know, and proceed to call anyone who asks, a n00b and flame them on the boards for being stupid.

        weld in a patch on the bottom side, and use seam sealer on both inside and outside edges. I'd probably also undercoat both the inside and outside to reduce risk of rot.

              It's still like that. The frame rails are ripped in half after the axle so the whole rear end kinda just sits there.
