#1341 also has the no lip version on a 3/28/67 SAI build date.
Which date is correct the 3/28 or 2/28 in your signature? Which of the two type no lip tail panel do you have?

Bob, I revised my signature to clear up dates, Ford vs SAI.

I am not familiar with the 2 types of no lip panels.

Here is a pic I have showing the top edge of the panel on 1341.  At this time I do not have any full back end pics with trunk open

Bob - I have the flat fiberglass taillight panel with the deeper in-trunk metal bracket.
The same panel as in the pics Carl  just sent you.

His picture is not conclusive to which type of no lip fiberglass tail panel he has IMO. I am waiting for a better picture from him and also from you . I hate to give out too many details for fear of it turning into a "leading question" . Get me a picture of yours.

#1341 with a 3/28/67 SAI build date has the flat no lip taillight panel which uses the deeper in trunk metal brackets.

..and yes I need to correct finish on trunk lid fasteners.
