Default doing bodywork, need pic for comparison please

Hey guys, We are in the process of aligning body panels. A had a question about the trunk area. Where the quarter and the deck lid meets at the top just under the window and beside the hinge, can I get a pic of a 67-68? It is in the corner that the screw driver is pointing to. It almost seems the joint/seem at the corner is raised. I think it needs to be down more in the corner. It just doesn't look right when the deck lid is closed.

I found that I need new hood hinges. The holes on the hinge arms are oblonged and their is quit a bit of play. Luckily I can get them for about $50 new on e-bay. The fiberglass fits horrible in case anyone is wondering.

They look pretty damn close. But if you remember any of my previous posts, the quarters are on crooked and I've been battling the tail end since I started. I even had to cut about 1" off one side of my rear valance and 1/2" or so off the other side. I will have to tack weld the valance on because there was nothing to bolt it to. It has been a challenge to say the least. Just imaging the PITA it was and is aligning the doors with crooked quarters. I cut the drinver'd side loose and lowered it about 3/4" at the door. When I'm done 99% of the people will never notice.

Good luck, you have about 20 minutes left. Are you bidder 1,2, or 3?
