Studebaker 'Tech Trivia' Question #8

[SN-60]

On a '54 Studebaker coupe, If the left deck lid opening panel is damaged or rusted away along it's top edge, (where the 1/4 panel bolts to it), and around the tail light mounting, what's a
'quick and dirty' way to make a solid repair on this damaged panel? (Did I say CASO?)

[DEEPNHOCK]

Ebay with no reserve.

To: DEEPNHOCK,-----Maybe, but when's the last time You saw one of THOSE panels on You Tube?

[DEEPNHOCK]

I was talking about selling the whole car on Ebay(Problem solved!)
Don't have a clue as to the piece.. I just made new patch pieces and welded them in...

[SN-60]

To: DEEPNHOCK,----Got it......but there actually is a somewhat 'clever' and VERY inexpensive way to achieve an almost 'factory' repair here.....think about it.

Weld the fender on.

To: 41 Frank,-------OUCH!!!!....No, that's not it.

HINT:------Take a good look at a rear view of a '53-'55 C/K, someone should come up with the correct answer!

No more opinions on this question?

ANSWER:-----Simply cut the needed area from a discarded RIGHT side 1/4 panel (perhaps a 1/4 that's rusted out down low or towards the front). Weld in, and complete the body repair per usual!
