    Right rear light support panel replacement

    I've purchased the part from Restoration-Design (http://www.restoration-design.com/store/product/PP288R) and I would like to know if there is any recommendations for installing this part. My car was hit at some point in its history and I'm trying to fix the damage that has been done by the accident and by previous "repairs." Some pictures would be nice, I'll post some up of what I'm working on. Thanks!

    I'd be inclined to initially screw parts into place then set everything up - deck lid, rear bumpers, and center panel then weld things. A picture if its any help. sorry the car is wrong way up.

    For sure give your complete taillight housing with the lens you intend to use to your body man. These often times need to be individually fitted. The light housings deform over the years and you'll want to make sure of a custom fit.

    Ivan,

    I think your car is a 68 or earlier? Your tail light housing is a little different than mine. Mine looks more like Moito's. Thanks
