There’s a sh*t ton of spot welds. I can try to get a picture of the one I took off my 70 a few years ago. Well over 100!

The one I did was like the one that kid did in that video but I think me and him both did a few things incorrect I would love to see the proper way

Lots of work to do it correctly but worth the trouble. There are a ton of spot welds because everything connects to it. It ties the whole back end together.
Looking on AMD website it doesnt appear to have any small filler pieces like some cars do. They do have a couple reinforcement brackets available. Sometimes its easier to just buy new ones than trying to salvage the originals.
Screw everything together and verify trunk lid gap and bumper gaps before welding anything solid.

Fit and install the tail light brackets prior to installing the panel. also Paint all inside of panels being installed first
