Hope it works out for you. I need another resto thread to watch!

Prayers sent!

Next up, fitting the bumper. So after bolting it in, its a little off! To high. It needs to come down And it's not clocked right. The top needs to rotate inward So this is how I decided to get it clocked. I modified the bumper brackets by slicing the ends and bending it down then...

So to update this, I have had the trunk lid clamped down for a few weeks and it appears to be relaxing so hopefully it should work itself down but may get DMT's trunk seal because they apparently have addressed this common problem.

Great! Thanks guys!

Anyone know why this trunk lid has these cut outs? Or what they are for? Or what year it went to?

So the next thing I did was straighten out the rear valance and corners. Before Fixing the left side and the right side All done. It looks a lot better.

I got the dana 60 in the car ** NOTE TO SELF ** Next time mounting a rear end in the car make sure after finishing you put jack stands under the axel!! This almost ended badly as everything was ok until I was leaning on the rear of the car and I felt the car beginning to do a wheelie...

Kept me on the edge of my seat

I would get a price from a reseller like 521 restorations, or someone close to you

Hi Paul, Are your fenders and hood not fitting right? I would be glad to get those for dimensions for you BUT, I replaced the upper cowl and the cowl bracket with the stud. So my dimensions would not be factory. I'm sure someone will lend a hand.

That's a good idea, I'll think on it. I have been thinking about how I can cut down the seal and the bumpers. I have been using the original two round bumpers because the new ones are thicker. So they will need to get cut down.

I agree with Mike. MP&C or Robert is excellent! Here are 2 links to his threads. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/welding-in-patch-panels.53534/ https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/mp-c-shop-projects.182565/

Yes sir latch is on. I have it adjusted it all the way down, and I have to give it a short slam to get it to catch. The thing is If I elongate the slots to allow the latch to move down, there is NO way I will be able to close it. The seal is a Metro molded supersoft seal TK225 and seems to be...

Hi Paul, no bending to get that 1/8" out. The trunk seal is holding it up. If I take the seal out it fits fine. I can put clamps on it and pull it down. see the last pic in post #40

Now the biggest thing I am fighting is the trunk seal. I have it adjusted really close, except to the rear on both sides. The lid is up about a 1/8. Not sure how to get that down?

Ok so I decided to see if I can bend the trunk lid. I thought this would be easier to try. So in this pic the block of wood was my gauge. I have marks on it that I would use as a gauge to bend to. Each time I would push it down, mark it, then take it off and test fit it. If it needed more...
