I removed the skin from a 72 LeMans trunk lid. You are so right, it's a lot of work. I wasn't as patient as you and I bent up the skin in several places around the edge. It is a great way to be 100% sure you have all the rust removed though. On my lid, there was dum dum or black wads of sticky stuff placed around between the two panels. Most of it was hard and dried out. This is to keep the skin from popping up and down on the finished trunk lid. I couldn't tell if yours had it or not but I thought I would mention it anyway. If yours had it I would be sure to put it back in. It seems like the natural crown of the sheet metal would prevent the flexing but I guess GM felt it needed to be there.
Great post. Keep up the good work. Paul

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
