My car was solid anyway, just dented up so we didn't have to do floors.
Body guy welded braces across the door jams and interior, then welded in the frame connectors before taking off any sheetmetal. Then did the trunk floor, rear panel, valence, and both quarters one at a time. The valence had to be off for the trunk floor to go in.

Elacruze, so you got a full AMD trunk pan in by just having the rear valance off?  That's what I gotta do but was'nt sure it would fit through the opening other than removing the trunk latch support.
