Looking real nice and Thanks again for the updates.
spent the another 10 or so hours fiberglassing then blocking the trunk/endcaps, finally got them fitting nice. I had to raise the front of the drivers side up a bit to sit flush. Next on the list of things to do is block the rear quarters and work on the side of the endcap to get that gap nice, I already started a bit on the passenger side.

trunk and endcaps
Then I pulled it out to sweep out of the garage and blow all of the dust off it.

took advantage of the nice weather today to finish the trunk and do the gaps on teh endcaps. I used icing to go over everything to hide the 40 grit scratches from blocking, i blocked everything with 150 so it ready for primer. I got the drivers side end cap fitting the way I wanted, and still be removable. Ill work on the passenger side tomorrow.

since the weather was shitty I did more interior work and rebuilt the fold down rear seat assembly. I stripped off the old nasty faded carpet and polished up the trim.

more trim before and afters
seatback part all done
stripping the front part was a PITA, the guy at the ford factory in 1967 must have done this after lunch on a Wednesday because it has a ton of glue on it.
