Installing Trunk Pan

Everything seems to fit pretty well but we can't seem to get the body back onto the body mounts. Everything seem all squared up but we can't get the body back far enough to line up with the body mounts. We are about an from being perfect. We checked everywhere and can't find anything that's hanging it up. The first couple photos are just a general view of the rear.

The last thing I'm baffled with is the gap between the trunk pan and rear quarter panel. Is there a filler panel or am I missing something. The third photo is from the rear looking forward.

Thanks for any suggestions!!!

i recognized the taillight opening as 68
you are missing the drop-off panel in pic#3
they go between the 1/4panel & trunk floor pan

Awesome. Went shopping and bought them this morning.

Now, back to my other issue. The replacement trunk pan is one piece and getting it to fit is something of chore to say the least. Is it better to get the body pinned down and secure using the new body mounts and then slide the trunk in? We tried that but we couldn't quite get the pan to slide into the seam that runs across th back firewall. Nothing appears to hang I think up. I wonder if makes sense to cut the pan, fit the pieces then weld back together.

Any other experiences out there. I need heeeeeeeeeelp

Thanks in advance
