It is time for a kind of major decision in the process of getting my GMC back on the road. I have to decide if I am going to remove the back panel. I don't really need to get it off for any reason related to the build out. The screws holding it on are rusted. It is a 73 so I know they won't come out they need to be drilled and new inserts installed. The purpose for removing it would be so when I have it painted it would improve the appearance with stainless screws. I have considered making plugs that would go over the screws and just leaving them. I am not sure how the seam would clean up and paint. I have spoken to my body man and there are a lot of repairs to be done to clean up and prep for paint. I am thinking that removing it is a lot of work for not much gain but I have to make a decision. Any opinions are appreciated. TIA
