Hi all
Anyone know of a supplier for the original type insulation paper fitted on

the inside of the trunklid. Any tips on installation would also be greatly

appreciated........do you have to seperate the outer skin?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Owen - 

       I believe that Bob Merritt sells rolls of the material in question,
or 
at least material that is as close as you can get.  If you cut out your 
existing panels at a 45 degree angle with a box cutter or similar blade,
so 
that the bevel cut extends under the metal bracing, you can use the cut
out 
panels as templates, and glue in the replacements with GM adhesive.  These

panels were not painted, per se, but did receive ovrspray when the inside
of 
the decklid was painted, so if you act accordingly, you should come up
with a 
fairly correct result, or at least one that will appear so.  I believe
that 
the treatment of this area was diverse enough, that you cannot be "wrong"
if 
you use the correct material.

Does anyone know if the 1960 Chrysler tail light housing and the 1961
Chrysler back-up light housing are exactly the same profile and will fit
into each others body? Will you have to modify and fill in or cut one or
the
other?

I may be buying a 61 and the previous owner put 1960 tail lights in place
of
the 1961 back-up lights.

Thank you all in advance for any help that you may give.

Charlie Valentine
