I have a 71 Chevelle that I purchased with the trunk cylinder punched out. How do I go about repairing this. I have seen the cylinders for sale in the various catalogs.

What do I have to do to the sheetmetal, what parts do I need and what else I might need to know. Thanks much!!!

This looks like it would it unless the metal that needs to be pushed out is too rusted. I will have to give this a try.

Thank you so much!
