Hello all, i haven't received my 66 yet but was talking with the guy i bought it from and he said the floor of the trunk is rotted out. Are there replacement panels available anywhere online?
Its a parisienne so Canadian
Im a bodyman so i can make them, but would be nice to buy premade.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks
Woody

I did this a number of years ago in a 66 Grande Parisienne I had.
There is a repro, better than making from scratch but it needs work to make it fit nice.
If you buy one check it right away to see if they've changed the design so that it lines up with the existing ribs in the trunk floor. I'd be curious to know whether they've made it correctly yet. Not that I need one but I hate seeing when they reproduce a part and then it's not made correctly.

i ordered a three piece floor from old car store in Langley, the one piece was 1900.00! the three piece 450, i guess its good to be an old panel beater. Ill let ya know how it fits and maybe post a pic of it before i install. Just building a roof off of the house to keep the old girl dry and a place to work on her.
