I really like your work it's amazing! Having your thread as reference how it should look like since I don't afford all those AMD sheet metal that I need. I have to fabricate my own inner wheel house, rocker panels and so on. I do have AMD quarter skins and trunk floor extension. So I'am real thankful for your thread. I have noticed one thing you have forgot and that is you haven't put the trunk floor extension support. Maybe I missed them? Here's a link to AMD how the trunk extension support looks like. Thumbs up for you great work!

Thanks for the compliment! I'm glad it will help you out.

About those braces... I bought the braces thinking my car had them, and it turns out it did not (original trunk extensions with no signs of braces) so I never put them in. I kinda did some research (by pics of people's cars) and I found that the 70+ cars never had them... I only researched the 70-72 cars. I'm guessing the rear valiance supported the lower quarters enough to not need them? I noticed 67-69 darts had them. (My 69 parts car has them) the 67-69 darts are a little longer in this area so maybe that's why they were needed?

I'm sure someone who knows the years these were put on will chime in! I'm interested to know.
