Body Questions

Post by Red76 »

Not sure if this is the right area for these questions but I guess it will be close enough. I guess they would be "body work" questions.
First: I have found a bit of rust on my drivers side pan. Normally (remember, Jeep guy here) I would just grab the plasma, cut out the cancer and weld in new sheet metal. But on a Spider I think it needs a bit more finesse. My question is where can I find replacement pans?
Second: Trim packages? I have noticed my dash is a bit different than most. I have a few more warning lights and some controls in different locations. Is this due to the year that I have (76) or were there different trim packages?
Last: Trunk Weather Strip: I need to put on the trunk weather strip. Do I want to have the seam up top or near the latch?

International Auto Parts has repair panels for the floorpan. They are a bit pricey but a lot easier than trying to make your own. http://www.international-auto.com

The 76 had all sorts of emission related lights in the center part of the dash. I'm not sure of what years had the same dash, but I would think it started in 74.

The seam should be on the bottom at the latch.
