    Hello, I am in the process of re doing the trunk on my 1970 electra. Just behind the rear wheel wells on both sides of the trunk area is where I am going to have to replace the metal and fab up the mounts. Does anyone have a pictures of what this should look like?

    Thanks

    Here are the pics of what it looks like now, I already have new body mounts, but unsure how this was welded to the under side of the trunk

    Thanks for the pictures, I have been searching for a long time and really appreciate your help. Trying to find that trunk body mount for the full size Buicks and there is nothing listed. But I noticed that for the smaller Buicks there is a Trunk Mount Brace available. Would this brace work in place of my missing brace, or with some slight modification?
