"IMO it is better installing the panel while the car is still on the frame, and u have the body bushings in place, to make sure that the panel is installed correctly."

Very important point. I'll add that if the car is on stands, they MUST go under the rear end and not under the frame.

my drivers side lower"triangle" piece that ties the 1/4 panel extension is rotten, does the piece I need come with a outer wheel well? Could I cut one out of a repo wheel well and weld it in?
Squibs had made his own template, but is it available to purchase???

I do have a "template" in pdf format for that piece....it's on my webpage....link is in the left navigation column hopefully (I just re-did all my html and server files so I hope it's still there)....
click it and you can save it or print it....but make sure you print "actual size" so it's correct (everyone's printer margins are different, so double check the scale on the printout with a ruler...)
And of course you may have to trim it to fit depending on your existing rear quarters/wheelwells, etc.

The piece is simple to make with a chunk of flat 18-19 gauge. Just put in the soft curl required by hand and fit it up, and weld it up!

Nope.

There some pics in one of the post here with a 64 where the guy lifted the body right off. He left the finder and radiator support in place. I think he just removed the bumpers.

When you get the trunk pan they make one for the 64-65 but they say it is for 64-67 sometimes get that one it is cheaper the 66-67 pan. Because you have to cut the piece off the back and weld it to yours or weld in a piece like I had to do to match all 3 pieces together because were the tail panel welds on was rotten on mine. Make sure it is true to the floor because if it is off 1/8" in the front on one side it will be off a lot more in the back(I know). yes you have to make your own pieces that tie the trunk drop offs to the wheel houses. Trunk drop offs you will need to have yours out so you can piece together with the one ones because the back is different too.
