    I'm about to order a full trunk panel kit soon to get the ball rolling on my '67. Most of the suppliers list 64-67 GM A-bodies as the same or close to it but found one site stating that the '67 Skylark center section will have to be modified.

    Any experience with our '67 trunk panel R&R out there or what tweaking the center section will need? I remember reading S. Everist's post about his '72 (before the board was hacked...) Great info! Is there anything particular about the '67's?

    Thinking about going with Goodmark - there's an E-bayer dealer that has some decent prices - Here

    Any words to the wise are appreciated! :Smarty:

    note to self and others.... :Smarty:

    from the goodmark dealer previously listed, "95% of their products come from Taiwan."

    Looks like that's the reason why it was such a deal. :mad:

    survey says...!

    FYI for anyone interested....
    After taking a peek at all the vendors out there....the chevelle is the odd ball trunk kit that doesn't match the rest of the A-bodies. I don't know why but they are chevy specific on the floor pieces and the fuel tank braces. They share the same body mount braces as the rest of the A-bodies.

    It seems that the GTO is the same pattern as our Buicks and our Buicks are advertised under the GTO part # from most of the vendors. (except OPG where it's mislabeled with the Chevy #- at least on the web site)

    Here's what I've found so far:
    Ames: US made
    The parts place: foreign
    1Aauto: they say US made but it has the foreign price tag...???
    Goodmark: foreign
    Performance Years: US
    Tabco: US of course
    CARS: US
    OPG: US
    Year One: US

    The foreign tag is anywhere from $250 to $299 and the US tag is anywhere from $339 to $403.

    I think thats because the chevy trunk is shorter
