Hi guys need alittle help.I bought the DSE mini tubs for a 67 nova which is the same body style as the Acadian.However my trunk hindes do not bolt in,they are welded in.Anyone out there with an Acadian that's done these,and what did you do for your trunk flange/brace?

Had a guy ask me last week if I had a hood release for a 63 Chevy 2. Told him I had one for a Beaumont but am thinking they are probably different. I am sure it won't take long for an answer. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me if Acadian and Nova used the same paint colors in 62? I'm referring to the actual color of the paint, not the name or code. Thanks
