    what type of welder are you using to do that? also do you just keep tacking the roll pan until it makes a complete weld all the way down ?

    My roll pan always cracks out. The last time it was done, the crack started after only 2 months. I've also got a crack by one of my Caddy tails.

    im thinking i probably wouldnt be able to do it to mine as my body line is different and i would be left with a tape line at the very back near the tail light ill have to look at it. my body line tapers in and levels with the bed at the very back. been there done that haha... sucks

    How much are you usually charging to do this kind of side job? You can PM if you prefer.. I'm interested in getting some body work done to the silvy.
