I was wondering if you had any tips on repairing  the rear Dutchman panel ( between the sail panels). I would like to keep as much of the original as possible.


The Dutchman has a compound curve where it always rots at the front corners. 
It's not flat all the way to the sail panel, and theres also the curvature of the rear window track too. 
On top of that, the pinch weld flaps are only accessible from the trunk.

You can patch it like I did, or

You can drill all the spot welds and remove the Dutchman and replace, but along with it, you'll need to remove the supports that connect the wheel well to the pinch weld.

No matter what you do, you're going to have to shrink the panel to get the oil can out of it.
