Getting the "stiffener" plate out of the old tray was an adventure. In addition to the rusted bracket bolts, and rivets, it was spot welded in various places on the bottom and up the side.
After fussing with it for awhile, an air chisel was the best tool to use for separating the two and breaking the spot welds. What a mess it made though.
But here is the plate laying in the new tray. It's heavily pitted, but still alot of meat left on it.
It will get a coat of rust converter. Both the tray and the plate will get a coat of miracle paint. Also seam sealer. But I still need to weld in the drain pipes first.
