I delivered the shell stripped of paint. One year and three months later I
retrieved it - with a hole in the boot and (-$6000) because it was still no
where close to shooting paint. At this point, to make the shell reasonable,
I will probably have to replace the entire boot. A new trunk floor was
purchased, but the existing one was cut in half to save from welding the
whole trunk floor in. The lower part of the boot was "repaired" by welding
in several pieces of scrap (it still missing about a 2 inch square
piece.Plenty more to be said, but that is probably enough. I've done some
welding in the past, so I might as well give it a try - nothing to lose now.
I have attached a pic of the boot

Okay, Bill. So tell us what happened (leaving names out if you're
concerned about litigation). I'm sure some of the newbies will be
wondering why...
