BOOM. where d that ugly flange go?? HMM. next big thing on here will be that it is illegal to put filler in the trunk. but it s gonna be ok to pack that butt weld area full of mud. lol. sorry. i think it s funny.
It is illegal to put body filler inside the trunk from here on out !!! :evil3:
Any way I have to throw my 2 cents in here, there is nothing wrong with flangeing or butt welding or even just doing an over lap. It all just depends on what your capable of doing and picking the right spot to do it at on the body. The main thing to consider on any repair is to make sure it is sealed up tight so no moisture can get to the seam. My personal thought is that a tig welded butt joint is the best way to go on a concourse restoration as the finished product if done properly will require near zero filler if not zero. But for most of us who just want a nice job the flange method is soooo much easier and can save alot of time and agrivation.
