Default '68 Fastback Interior

I am trying to put together the rear interior for my 68 fastback with fold-down rear seat. Some of the trim that came with the car isn't fitting right. Does anyone have some good pics of the rear interior I can look at? More questions to follow. I have been into Classic Mustangs for years, but this is my first attempt to restore. I am learning as I go. Thanks for the help.

Do you have yahoo? I can send you what I have of mine. It's a black interior but you should be able to see it just fine.

There's two pictures. If you need a specific location inside I'll run back out and get some more if you want. Hope it helps.

I will be doing my fold down soon and will also need pics of how it goes together and pics of the inside of the car where the fold down bolts in. Any pics would be appreciated.

I am getting my car back on 4/25 and can post some picture for you.

I have a request. Could you take a picture of the inside rear fender where the bracket is welded, for the rear seat latch. I need a measurement from the floor up to the bracket, and then a measurement that would tell me where is from the front or from the rear.

Are you talking about new trim for the fold down? If so, The fit is not very good. I had to trim, cut, and drill, and the fit was still off.

I have tubbed the rear wheelhouse, but


I have heard you have to loosen and move all these panels around to make them fit. You can also remove and re-locate all the small screwed on brackets behind the panels.

Ah, you have a woosie 14 volt DeWalt drill. Nah, just kidding. Have any of you guys with the 2+2 rear seats actuallt sat back there for any period of time while the car was in motion. Those seats look to be the most uncomfortable seats ever made. I see why Carroll Shelby eliminated them.
