The trunk was good enough for me as it sat, I had blasted,patched it and shot DP90LF on it many years ago which preserved it,
but the rear crossmember and frame tabs that connect to it were bad.

Once all the back spot welds (rear crossmember/trunk/tail panel area) were dealt with, and one quarter panel was cut off
the only thing in the way of changing the trunk floor was 2 down bars/roll bar which (after the plates were cut off) I was able to flex
upward with a ratchet strap just enough to sneak in a once piece trunk floor from the side.

So one thing led to another and I did put a trunk floor in it. I know I will be happier with the end result, and saved myself
hours of repairing and straightening the rear spot weld area.

I didn't want to cut my trunk gutters b/c being a '69 the partial VIN is documented on the left one, so I just cleaned them up and repaired bad spots.

I'm using the new AMD larger inner wheelhouses to mini tub, there was enough rust at the bottom of the originals to make them worth changing.
Spring relocation will have to wait, but at least by then more than half the job will already be done.

Yep you are right, I should probably start a thread.
