Good one,You'll do yourself in if you put the trunk floor in first and then try to weld the filler panel,unless you can fit into the trunk and weld from in there,then you get those flaming little balls of fire down your shirt,not fun.Luckily i saw that problem and did the filler first

:iagree: :iagree:
Pictures help a lot more than you will ever know. If any one is doing any thing to their mopars if you would post pics that would help everyone out. Anything from replacing floorpans to framerail replacement to aligning fenders. Pics really help out the people who still need to do that type of work to their cars
