Welding On Inner Rear Latch Panel, 69 S (using a bottle jack to help...)

Today I tackled more chassis restoration, and I had to use a bottle jack to spread my rear frame rails! The full roll cage of this car had "compressed" the frame rails a few mm, and my replacement panel from Restoration Design was a good 1/2" off from being able to be installed.

This was the jack I eventually used, with a 2x4 against the opposite frame rail.



I was able to use one of my regular floor jacks as a "proof of concept" and got the piece in for measurement.





Quick test fit of the outer rear latch panel piece.

After welding it on and cleaning up the welds.







Then sealed up with a bit of POR15 as a stage 1.





Am excited to get that rear panel on so I can finally fit the quarters.

If you want to see the video of this whole process, here it is:
