Hey guys, I've searched for a clue or an answer, and no dice. I realize this is very beginner, but I need to start fabricating somewhere.
In reference to another thread I started, I think I am leaning towards using a fuel cell for my engine swap. However, the one guy I found that did this, needed to cut the back 'trunk' wall to make some room; about 2".
The question is, if I move forward with this and modify that back wall, how do I patch up the large hole? I'm inclined to use fiberglass, but I have no such knowledge, so if that is a good direction, where is a good source on this sort of fiberglass fabrication? Or should I make the repair panel out of sheet metal? Don't really have any skill there, but I could fumble my way through it, if it's the best solution. There's also the third option of using the removed fiberglass panel, then using metal to make up the 2".
What do you all think?
