What I am attempting to do is buy a 68 coupe that had a mako kit at on point in its lifetime and someone had removed it and did a terrible job of fixing it. There is glue strips all over under the body and u can see the joints from the top side. Im thinking it would just be easier to remove the whole rear clip. I just found a 73 on ebay that is real nice. Im just not sure how different it really is. Im not looking to make this car original. Just wanted to make a nice resto-rod. You know test the skills....lol. Maybe sell it someday for a profit.

Oh man figures. I was looking at putting a 73 rear clip on a 68 but I quess that wont work because the front would be different. Thanks for the help you guys and gals are great.
