We are fitting the MCC custom frame rails ,trunk and floor.

After a lot of measuring we determined the 68 trunk reproduction part is just under 3/4 of an inch short end for end.
I had to cut it and will add to it.

Also the lower section was cut out to make way for the MCC rails and 19/355 meats.

We started fitting the quarters and tail panel today.
After finding that the reproduction trunk floor was 3/4 to short I wanted to be sure we had our front to back measurement right before welding the trunk floor, rails and floor.

I'm pretty happy with the fit but with most repro parts it's going to need some tweaking.

Amazing work, WOW!! The patches you welded in and metal finished look outstanding!

Let us know what tweaking will be required to get the re-pop quarter panels to fit. I'd love to see what's required.

I will.
So far I noticed the deck lid gap is almost 1/2 too wide at the rear with the quarters fit. Will need some tweakin.
