Has anyone used the two piece trunk pans from Original Parts Group for a 68 GTO? The reason I ask is that the ribs in the pans don't come close to lining up with the original trunk. Are they just a universal set or a chevelle part that I have to make fit? If so how? Also they look like a poor stamping the metal is overlapping around some corners. I would not recommend them to anyone. but I already paid for them and I don't want to have to buy another set. Any help would be appreciated.

I have put in a 3 piece replacement trunk floor from Ames in my 64. Even with this set some trimming was required. The stamping itself was exact, just that the panels needed to be trimmed on the end where it bends up to the tail lights.
It takes time and some fabricating.
