Received a big shipment of parts today, so it was a great day... The question focuses on the complete trunk panel. I understand it to be a fairly new part that the vendors are carrying. So, has anyone installed this thing yet? Do you'll know if there's anything like a guide out there that has some kind of specs. or details on the proper alignments? I expected it to be a fairly big task to complete, after several trial fits this evening, I’m almost thinking what have I gotten myself into.

Thanks for any info.

Some pics for your viewing pleasure

looks like a lot of work. good job and keep up the good work

 

Holy Cow dude, are you building a Mustang from scratch?

Cheers.....[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

With enough money you pretty much can build a new classic mustang. Just need a frame..

 

Looks like that is about all you have to work with is a frame. Wow! you have more cajones than I do. I hope you are a patient man with deep pockets.

 

Where did you get the part and number? I have to replace some areas in my trunk becuase of rust holes - might be cleaner if I can use one piece instead of the 4 you have to buy now - assuming you can actually get the tghink in your trunck opeing.

 

NPD has it in the new catalog "06" on page 154 for $409.95. I ordered it through Car Parts discount for $349. Also Laurel Mountain has it for $399.95. Remember, it ships in an extremely large box, therefor must be shipped freight, so there's another $120 ~ $150.

Thanks Soaring, I was thinking you were the man with the correct answer, but all i get is an OMG.. HAHA. Now im really thinking what in the hell have I done. Well, at least I'll be patient, so I wont screw it way up . Guess i'll spend all weekend tacking, clamping, holding and what ever else it takes to get this stuff lined up with everything in place.

 

See, lots of fitting and clamping and beer drinking gonna go on this weekend. This looks to fit okay..

Last pic for tonight. I know not to install the outer wheelhouses until I fit them to the quater panel, so would you'll think it'd be okay to get this trunk panel and inner wheelshouses all good and welded in place?

 

Nice jackstand better not kick it out
