That's what I'm shooting for. My filler pieces are butt welded but it will have seam sealer around the base of the wheel well like it came from the factory.

I just don't want it noticeable don't matter to me if it looks factory Surely the Dana and the fuel cell in the trunk will give it away.
Really am thinking about removing the spare tire area and making it all flat but who knows yet.
It sure would make putting the fuel cell easier and clean it up.

The void makes a nice 'weather-guard' for the fuel pump. JMHO

Deja Vu man ! I also have seam sealer for the bottom......I was wondering if sandable primer in coats would fill that gap over the top of the wheel well.......it is only .032 or so deep. I got some " splatter " paint that looks very trunk floor like......that is what I will be squirting behind the back seat to hide my shoddy workmanship. I haven't decided if the back seat will go back in or not yet......I got the cage kit to keep it , but since I don't plan on riding back there , it is low on the priority list. Nice work so far. Keep the updates coming.

Looking good! I mini tubed mine and then decided to go all the way. I used the stock stuff and some sheet stock to make my own. Looks kind of factory.
One of the cleanest I've ever seen....love the stock look....

The pic HardcoreB has above is my Dart Sport. I also used the spatter paint to hide it all. Came out pretty good.
Can you get that in a spray can???
I bought splatter paint in a rattle can. So yes , you can buy it. But even after extended periods of shaking , it came out in chunks. So no , it didn't work for me. I was looking forward to that " stock trunk floor " look too.
