    I Looked around at various sites and I dont think anyone makes this, but I thought I would ask around before I write it off completely. If not, I can probobly make a brace out of 2" x 4" box tubing and just notch it to accept the trunk latch, etc. but I sometimes I tend to get stuck on easy things because I am over thinking it. Any other Ideas on how you would tackle this? Make a wooden form? The pictures make it look not too bad, but the whole thing is so thin you can push your fingers through it in spots and its full of pin holes. I dont think trying to save it is an option.

    I picked up a new tail pan, and trunk floor extension but this piece is the part that the new trunk floor extension attaches to, which also connects the body to the frame.
