I'm in the need of the rear body panel of a 71-73. This is the panel at the most back edge of the trunk opening. What I really need is the top portion with the trunk weatherstrip channel and the inch or so of good metal below that. My channel turned in to swiss cheese! This channel is about 4 feet long.
I tried those national salvage yard locator services. They actually expect me to pay over $125-$325 for the channel! What are they smoking? I can buy a new reproduction Mustang taillight panel, complete with the weatherstrip channel for $99.95, cut off the channel and throw the rest away for less than the price these robbers are 'asking'. :angryfi:
Anyone know what other car would have the same channel that I might have better luck finding up here in the Rustbelt? Old classic Mustangs and Cougars are loooong gone out of the salvage yards around here!
Please help!!!! :1zhelp:
Thanks,
Milo
