61 Polara GB

Can anyone tell me if the edge where the edge of the trunk lid meets the body above the license plate is the same on the
other 61 models? My Polara has a flaky panel here to say the least, an awkward fabrication but an easy cut out if I can
get hold of one ....I know dvap have a few cars in their yard and but are Phoenix models!
Hopefully I will manage to upload the image of the section I'm referring too.
Thankyou Kevin

The lower panel below the trunk lid is the same for all 1961 Dart and Polara models, except wagons. The end panels are different due to the different rear quarter panels and the Dart tailights.

Kevin, I got a pressing done at a local sheet metal fabrication shop

It comes out straight, but then I cut it almost all the way through in a number of places and re welded it back up to get the curve

Making the corner sections at the ends is really hard, but some sitting and pounding gets it

60 and 61s are bad for rust there
