[BaadAssGremlins] Gremlin Battery Tray



I've seen some off and on chatter about the usual
Gremlin/Hornet battery tray problems where they tend
to rust out over time.  

I've got the same problem with my '72.  It's on the
passenger side.  I've been contemplating the best way
to deal with this.  Seems to me there's three options;

1) clean it up, treat it and then paint over it to
hide it,
2) rivet sheetmetal over the existing rust problem and
paint over it to hide it, or....
3) cut it out and replace it with a donor car part.

Anyone ever do the later one, cut it out and replace
it?  What's the best way to do that?  Drill the spot
welds or just cut it out and weld in the replacement
part?  If I drill out the spot welds, will the panel
just lift out?  Of course, then there's the problem of
getting it back in.

Thanks for the assistance....
