Since I'm doing quarters & outer wheelhouses at the same time, I've removed one side & will slide the trunk pieces in from the side first, while the body is still on the frame. The center of the trunk floor itself was pretty bad, but the braces & the tank look to be in great shape. Mike is correct in that there doesn't appear to be a one piece rrunk available for the 64/67 cars.

It appears to me that by holding the body on the chassis, the chassis acts as a "Jig" to ensure correct fitment and alignment.
