Question.....in what order is best to install the valance corners and trunk floor extensions? I've started working on my 68 again and will be replacing the corners and trunk extensions....along with patching lower 1/4s, patching valance and wheelhouses. I cut a few rusted pieces outta the valance and it appears the corners need installed before tje extensions. Correct?

Thanks!

trunk drop off 1st,corner gets welded to 1/4 panel, then install the 1/4, last is the valance.

I wasn't planning on removing valance...as it only needs a few minor patches. And how would it be welded to corners as there is an inner panel covering that area?

You will have to remove the valance to do the corners unfortunately.

If you're not removing the valance then you can use a panel adhesive between the corner caps and quarter/valance.  Then weld the corners to top and bottom.
