If you zoom in real close, you might see some pitting there, where they welded from behind along the top curl over the back up lamp, and to the end. It's visible to the naked eye

Apparently that's where they had to do the repairs... I didn't see it before they tanked it and stripped it.

besides the battery tray, there used to be a hole rusted right through that panel under the front fender, just above where the wire is in the picture.

This is a softball sized vacuum tank from Dorman. It's functional, but not much more. Try to find a place to hide this under the hood.

This should give you an idea of what I'm going for. I cut a piece out of the Chevy floors I used to patch out a couple weak spots on my floors.

That's the fit at the back edge. The piece sticking up has to either go, or get bent over flat with the top of the tray

I had a little piece of steel laying around from when I was thinking about patching a few small holes in my floors- or maybe from one of my motorcycle projects? I forget. It's only about 18 gauge, but that means I have half a chance of bending and shaping it with my meager tool set.

One more from a different angle. I hope you can see that the mounting points along the front and both sides are really solid, but the back of the tray is completely gone.

This is the new webbing material. It's a 3 panel webbing as it should be from 1964, but the color probably isn't a factory red. It is, however, a nice match for my seats, and the carpets.

I have the old belts, so I have the original factory tags. I could try to clean hem up and have them re-attached to the newly reconstructed seat belts.
