Changing 67 Fastback rear valance
68 A ,
Sorry I do not have a good trunk pan section. The 69 notch *** end I cut up for sheetmetal parts the spare tire well was really awful, and had chunks cut out of it by the guy I bought it from. The 69 I am redoing, the trunk pan was pretty awful as well. I removed it in sections to get it out. Left a small strip connecting the rear frame tie bar to the rear valance just to temporarily hold it together in the back until I could put the new transition pan, wheel houses and such in and stitch it up. Then I removed that remaining strip so I could change the trunk pan. Theres a guy out on here in the california desert who drills apart A body cars and sells the metal from them. It's the same basic trunk pan from 67-76. A few minor differences like the fuel filler tube hole and a couple stiffener stampings, and such. I am using an AMD trunk pan. Its modeled after a 1970-76 pan. I think the sheetmetal guy is Lee Roy Robinson. Other than that, eyeball the AMD pan and compare it to yours in the area you want to splice. If it looks the same, then it is. This 70-76 A body pan fits like a glove. I am now in the process of scuffing the primer down with 220 and will be shooting some epoxy primer on the underside, then will be welding it in. Heres pix of it drilled with 1/4" holes for rosette welds, and temp screwed right to the framerails.
