Full-trunk pan installation question: 70 Superbird

Hey gang..

Just curious... I'm looking to start on the body work on the Superbird in the near future, hence starting to gather replacement AMD sheetmetal. Regarding the trunk pan. It has to be replace, but the taillamp panel doesn't need to be removed. The "dutchman" filler panel will need to be removed thought after the rear window plug is removed.

Question: With the rear window plug and filler "Dutchman" panel removed, can a full trunk pan be maneuvered in for replacement or am I still forced to use trunk half floor pans? I'd like to plan ahead and purchase either the full or halves..

Thanks in advance.

I'd just carefully remove the tail panel and use the one piece. Or ,like Charlie said, get the one piece cut it in the middle , but eld back together one in the hole ,then  drill and weld ( or spot weld) as normal.
