Re: C2C and 21st series sheetmetal

I purchased a replacement trunk panel from C2C via ebay for one of my 21st Series Packards although it was advertised for the 22nd Series. There was a caveat concerning excessive trimming which I interpreted as a wry understatement.
1) The recesses required for the rear body bolts were mere shadows of what is required. 2) There is not enough material to form a flange with which to weld the panel to the body. 3) The floor reinforcement ribs aren't...unless you are happy with shallow grooves.
Obviously the part is poorly planned and executed. The thickness was fine.
To their credit, they accepted the return and 100% refunded my purchase. I was going to eat it but I decided if enough people return shoddy merchandise the vendor might improve the product.
