65 back panel picture request

Post by The Transplanter »

Do any of you guys have a picture of the back panel on your 65' with the bumper removed that you could post up for us ?

I knew mine had a previous bad repair from old collision damage, so I have just removed the rear bumper and chipped out all the old bondo so I can see whats going on :roll:

Would I be correct in presuming that the panel should be dead straight where the arrow is in the pic below?

Thanks Mike

Looks like he had a similar problem to myself. It would be good to see a pic of an undamaged one if possible 8)

Couple pictures of mine. My Car was never hit or damaged, I did move the openings for the bumper mounts in tho.

Pretty sure it is straight across, may even have just a little bit of a outward/rearward bow. Can check the next day or so when I go to my shop if you would like.

Thought I had a picture with a straight edge across it, couldn't find it but found these if they help.
