Replacement trunk floor extension and drop downs

[xxcarguy]

Has anyone actually touch or ran there hands across these?
They just don't look right, maybe a generic photo. Appreciate your feedback.

Yeah, I've got a couple sitting in my shop. Look pretty crude and like they'll take lots of fitting, but I found a way better car to start with so haven't had to mess with them.

Super
Thanks for the help.

I have those also. Like @Polara_500, I found a better candidate for my build.

Junk.

Go on facebook and look up real steel replacements. He has patch panels for older mopars. not sure about the year your looking for. To echo others, those are garbage!

 

[xxcarguy]

Will check
Thanks

Starting with Sherman parts in the mid-90s, most any C-body AM sheetmetal will fit poorly and be too thin to work with to make it fit.
We'd be better off using ribbed soupcan material.

Did mine from scratch. I was better off when I looked at the repop garbage.

 

[xxcarguy]

Nice
That's probably the way to go.
Thanks for the pictures.

And FWIW, fenderskirts are the template for cutting wheel-lip patches!

Also when welding in patches to make sure the body lines are aligned..

I installed a pair into my Polara and they took some work to fit them in.
Likely spent about 15 hours each on fitment cutting, trimming, bending...
But they are better than nothing...
Originally when I got the car it had trunk pockets added which I like so I formed them into the trunk again only using brand new metal instead of window screening & bondo.
