The trunk extentions have been removed, so all the metal is exposed for blasting. There are some other similar spots as well.

I agree about the not half-assing at this point, but a pair of quarters is another $1000+, and these are attached so nicely to the rocker panels. I'm still thinking about replacing them.

Yes, I'm nuts. It's been quite a job, a bit more than I anticipated, with having to replace the firewall, but at least it will almost be a new car. And hey, it ain't nothing but a thing.
