I forgot to include this in my previous post. Do the tail panel brackets go on the outside of the tail panel as in the pic ...or so they go on the inside of the panel?

70 barracuda tail panel...here is a video of it clamped in place. Should it set flush with the rear quarter or be set in some as in the video?
I have a 73 parts car and the tail panel on it is flush at the top and the bottom is set in about a half an inch.

I am wanting to do a side fill conversion on my frankencuda and I am looking for the gas cap sheet metal from the quarter panel . Does anyone have a junk quarter they can cut that portion off of and ship?
Thanks
My issue now is that the bottom of the door closest to the hinge sticks out about a quarter of an inch past the rocker panel. I don't think I can adjust anything to move the lower corner of the door inwards.
That's good to know that dimensionally they are good. I will try to readjust it tomorrow. I might post some pics if I can't get it. Thanks for the ideas!
I need a factory lower left door hinge. I purchased an aftermarket hinge and my door now sets out too far...even after adjusting. I don't believe the cheap chinese hinges are accurate. Let me know if you have one. Thanks!

I am doing the passenger door tomorrow and it's fully loaded.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I am installing my door today. I replaced the bushings in the hinges and the striker is new. I have the door and striker adjusted about where I want them but the door doesn't fully latch when I close it. It's just a shell no molding trim or glass. Here is a vid of it
I have two cars..both are 73's. One of them I am installing a 71 tail panel and bumper in and I have a question. On the 73's there is a urethane trim panel that fits up under the rear quarter corners, and across the top of the rear bumper, covering that spot between the bottom of the tail...
I am looking for front and rear torque boxes. American car body is on back order on almost all of their products. Does anyone have a set laying around they didn't use?
