Re: [Chrysler300] Sheet metal fabrication question - H trunk floor

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Carlton and All:
The dip prime would have thoroughly covered that area, as the car was  
submerged higher than the floor.        I  certainly applaud your extensive 
efforts in properly restoring your 300H.   Enjoyed seeing you at the meet.
300ly, Gil C.

Hello,

This isn't a big problem but I'd appreciate some  advice.   I chose to 
fabricate my H trunk floor myself and so far it  has come out OK.  I did spend 4 
- 6 hours hammering in the stiffening  beads with a homemade tool and 
hardwood die. ( A 1/2" core router bit made a  nice groove and two pairs of 
grooves reduces shifting the sheet  metal.)

Shortly I'll attach and reweld the two bottom stiffeners and  this is where 
my question is; is that enclosed area painted / protected?   At the factory 
would that inside area get coated when the body was  dipped?  I could  
paint / protect inside first and then grind /  remove paint / weld or I guess I 
could weld first and later pour some thinned  paint through the end openings 
and gas tank strap bolt holes.

I have  wondered how restorers deal with these sorts of enclosed areas. 

Thanks  for any advice.
