That's a good question. Should I get three sections or a one piece? Also if the braces are solid can I just replace the panel(s) and leave the braces in? Thanks

What car? If an A body, I used the 3 piece trunk and it worked out well.

Where did you get your panels from?

It has been several years but I believe I got the 3 piece kit from Goodmark.

Buy sections if you’re not already planning on taking a quarter off, have access from below with the body off the frame, or have good original metal you can leave and only need specific repair areas. In thirds, the entire trunk floor can be usually be replaced through the trunk opening without sectioning the panels further.

If your existing body to frame rail braces are good you can leave them and just drill out your spot welds from the top of the trunk floor. Keep in mind you’ll also have to either replace or reuse your existing fuel tank mounting braces. They are not heavy gauge like the body to frame braces so you’ll either have to grind out the spot welds from the trunk side you’re replacing, or you can drill them out and use the holes you created in the braces to plug weld from the underside up.

Just an idea - since you are also in NC - I am in Charlotte and I have a rust free original trunk out of a 70 LeMans. Can't get any better fit that that. I cut it out myself, is complete with all the braces and supports.

I am pretty sure the 70 is quite different than the 67 but thanks for the offer. If this came off a 67 I would over there picking it up tomorrow.
