      Have you seen Janderson's thread? He put plastics and the metal rear valance on his early model.

          ironically i commented on his restore thread on the very same thing -- i had suggested body filler, but i BELIEVE he was going with some rubber stoppers (never heard how he did it on the thread though)



          wanted to see what the trend for this is

            Seam sealer and a little paint to make it less noticeable.

            I have a full plastic conversion with sliders and shocks if you are interested...

                I bought some rubber plugs at Lowe's, siliconed over them, they sprayed undercoating over the entire rear end below the body line.

                  I used 3-M weatherstrip adhesive. Works great.
