Question for you guys doing or have done a 66. I'm in some final line up stages on the rear. I've run into something I need an opinion on. On the inner wheelhouses fitment, If I lift the wheelhouses up to the factory brace. I come up short on metal to weld them to the trunk floor. If I lower them I need to lower the brace/ bracket. What have you guys done if you have ran into this issue.

Thanks

you might have them over-rotated toward the front of the car? What brand are you using? I used AMD and the were a decent fit.
On the trunk side flange that meets the flat/upper portion of the trunk over the axle, does the new wheelhouse match up well? there is a flat edge on the wheelhouse that should match up with the flat portion of the trunk. I used that as a guide to tell me if they were over-rotated or not. There is alot of movement in there, you might have to add a filler patch between the trunk and the wheelhouse if you cannot get rid of it. Or possibly get an AMD wheelhouse?

I've got goodmark pieces. I've rotated and moved them around to try and find the "sweet" spot were they will fit decent. If I get them to fit the floor fairly nice, i have an area at the trunk brace that is not covered at all, and than I can't make the brace on the upper portion to weld to.

If they just won't fit and you have to add metal think of the place that will be least affected by the elements.
Also, kind of hard to explain, but try and compress it on the bottom and the brace, zip screw it in and see if you can pull to the other side of the opening.
