The cowl and the roof are original.
Yes, but they're not original to the car.The trunk lid bolts will be re-used again.(sorry Jim)
Here I am thinking I'm all cool patching lower fender rust, meanwhile, east of the Mississippi.......
You are a brave, brave man Jim

It's going to get interesting screwing all of the parts together and getting them all to fit, before I start welding. Can't wait. 
You prefer screwing the panels rather then using cleco fastening ???It's going to get interesting screwing all of the parts together and getting them all to fit, before I start welding. Can't wait.
I do use Clecos at time. But for assembling body panels to check fit up, I prefer screws as they don't stick out like Clecos do and the screws will pull panels together.
I don't have cleco but always wondered if they was worth having.
The trunk floor arrived today. Great packaging and it was the best shipped price I could find. $728.00 shipped from California to Pennsylvania. Ebay seller is timelessperformance. Floor looks great and has all of the braces, the box mounts and covers. I don’t know how they make money at this price, especially with the truck freight. Hubbard and Classic Industries we’re over $1000.00 with shipping. Now the installation fun will begin shortly.
They sure did a nice job packing. The trunk floor is in its own box inside of this package.

728$ including the shipping……?………
Yep. If I wasn't in a rush and could have waited til fall Carlisle, I might have been able to get the floor from Hubbard's for about $600.00. If they had them in stock, they are currently out of stock. Hubbard's and Classic Industries wanted almost $500.00 just for shipping.728$ including the shipping……?………
Lets see some photos of that beauty when you get a chance. Looking for trunk parts for the '63.
I'll get a few pics over the weekend, it's a Dynacorn upper trunk floor.
That was a good deal Jim! There’s some homeless people in the Dallas area that would kill for that box!!!
It sure is some nice heavy cardboard, Barry. It'll be added to my driveway creeper collection.
You must have been dealing with Northeast Chevelle in Hazleton?
Summit and my local parts store, A&A Auto parts listed an upper trunk floor for around $500.00, but did not come with any braces. They were both out of stock.
Yep. I got all the big items thru there to avoid shipping. If you add up all the shipping costs, you could build another car! (we'll save that for another rant)
Snapped a few pictures this morning and checked a couple measurements. All looks great.
