I got the flange located at the lower front side of the right wheelhouse replaced. Thank you
Scott for the pictures! While doing so, I found that the AMD replacement outer wheelhouse does not have the recess at the bottom front to accommodate the flange. The original flange, as you can see from Scotts images, also steps in to accommodate the recess in the outer wheelhouse. Because this recess is not in the AMD panel, I made my patch flat. I also patched in the bottom corner of the right side door pillar. This area was rotted.
Scott’s picture showing the step in the flange and recessed area in outer wheelhouse:

This is the area of the lower corner of the door pillar. I still need to touch up a few spots with the mig:

I also blasted and primed the donor rear section of the trunk. I still need to remove a few pieces off of it that I don’t need.

I bought those same pieces for mine CT, but I had the body shop install them when they put the new quarters on...

Yes! Mock up everything with sheet metal screws or a few very tiny weld tacks. Make sure everything fits good and all the gaps are good before doing any final welding. Looks great so far!
