Dam never thought of using an old tail panel trim as a template. 1 year piece they dont reproduce. I think your good to go. I have to drill for my pentastar emblem , patch panel.

Not to be critical, does the body line below the rear side marker light look too sharp or bit is it just an illusion?
Good question, I'm off work today, so heading over this morning to give it a good look over before it hits the booth for primer. They were full AMD quarter panels and they were aware of not making some lines to sharp - more round like factory.
Vinylester primer for blocking. They will round out some of the body lines as they prep for paint.
no pics of the back corner lines for us tell me they didnt fill them. 
Headed back over Tuesday to drop off the square bracket for driver's side muffler mount (behind rear seat) so they can drill the holes for that. I'll take pics of those corners, but they're not filled.no pics of the back corner lines for us tell me they didnt fill them.
They sent me a picture today (Sat), so it's clear they didn't fill the end caps.no pics of the back corner lines for us tell me they didnt fill them.
Got the engine & transmission on the K-frame today.
Slowly mounting accessories. Had to add a shim under the water pump pulley, ordered alternator bolt kit (alternator was in the back seat when I got the car), and a spark plug shield for #7.
The shop has it one the rotisserie & plan for about 100-150 hours for blocking, sanding & paint it should be ready to come home for reassembly in February (planning on late Feb). Ordered replacement wheel opening molding for final test fit - too many extra holes and bends in the originals.

Having the engine out makes it a breeze when you work at getting the accessories lined up.
Wow!!! That is an incredible transformation in such a short period of time. Looks fantastic. The body shop earned their money on that one. All the work on the engine, trans, interior was well done as well. You'll be driving it before you know it.
Thanks - a lot of work & $$$. Looking forward to driving it. I'm planning 3-6 months reassembly, so there's an outside chance I could take it to Carlisle in July.
Bottom painted with thicker / more chip proof coating as I'm planning to drive it.
