the battery tray itself is in good shape, but after I had it media blasted, I decided to weld in a new piece. The part where the battery sits is the bad spot. The side are in great shape. I have the new tray all ready to go.
I COULD make things easy and drill out all the spot welds, put new holes in the new tray, and weld it in. BUT, the VIN number sits on top of where the old tray would be cut out (if cut out in 1 piece). Could a guy cut out the VIN number, and weld it to the tray, or would I be getting into legal matters?
Should I just cut out the rot, and replace only what I need to? I'm going to take a pic and see if I can remember how to post...thx in advance JL
