Yikes! Trunk lid gaps

[DMZ73]

Looks like im going to do the same thing this week.

My passenger side is great, so that makes me happy. The Driver's side is another story. It looks as bad or worse than the link shown.

I tackled mine the last couple days. I welded 3/32 thick rods down the sides. and 2 rods down the back of the lid. I only spot welded every inch or so. I could not see needing to weld the whole darn thing. I was not taking any chance with warpage. Each spot or 2 i would grab the ol air gun and cool it down. Went perfect. Last night i cleaned it up, and laid some All Metal on both sides, too fill in and level. I will finish sanding,etc on sat. I will try and get some pictures on here. Thanks for all the ideas and input guys.

I added rod on my trunk lid 3/32 on front and sides, stock trunk lid and quarters. I had 3/8" on each side at least. Good old LA build quality!
