Looking to purchase some metal sections for my project. If you've got a parts car with solid sections of the following that you can cut and ship to 20165, please let me know:

1. Need the front trunk (frunk) section that approximates the section I have highlighted in red below. That red box is sort of the "minimum" that I need.


2. The rear trunk section for a '75. I could buy the Resto Design section for this, but it requires some decent modification to fit a '75. if you have a section with the minimum amount shown below and are willing to cut/ship, let me know:


Thanks!

I should have a front trunk pan section I cut out of a parts car. I will check it out tomorrow morning and make sure it covers the area you need. Will post a few pictures here tomorrow.

Rob, I think you'll be ok with the RD piece. Looks like you only need the center section. The ends are the portions that need to be reworked.
Just make sure to fit the back first. So it's tight against the tail light panel.

Awesome, thanks Garold. If the piece you have doesn't quite cover all that red box area I should still be ok, provided it gets most of the back. There's a lot less rust up on the forward part (and more in the back, as evidenced by the big gaping hole).


Hey Cary, I was wondering about that. Then maybe I'll go ahead and get the RD piece. Question for you - I haven't really thought about it too much, but if I'm planning on backdating the bumpers on this and end up removing those bumper shocks, would the whole rear RD piece fit without mod at that point?

Thanks guys!

Looks like a big winner to me, Garold. I'll send you a PM.

I went ahead and purchased the RD piece for the rear trunk. Now I can have frunk 'n trunk taken care of.

Thanks again, fellas.

Should have no issues. Corners need a little fiddling, but pretty straight forward.
You need the couple pieces in the yellow circle below.




Biggest issue is whether to install a new tow hook receiver or not.
