[Chevelle-list] Trunk Floors

[Dean Vandergriff]

	Since I'm doing quarters & outer wheelhouses at the same time,
I've removed one side & will slide the trunk pieces in from the side
first, while the body is still on the frame.   The center of the trunk
floor itself was pretty bad, but the braces & the tank look to be in
great shape.  
	Mike is correct in that there doesn't appear to be a one piece
rrunk available for the 64/67 cars.

What if you remove the body, insert the floorpan, refit to chassis and
then 
do the assembly. It appears to me that by holding the body on the
chassis, 
the chassis acts as a "Jig" to ensure correct fitment and alignment.
