I purchased a mid restoration 1970 Coupe which I plan to finish. There is a problem with the Rear Decklid (trunk) it overhangs the back by about 3/4" and binds in the front when closing which means it needs to move back even further. This was all done by the previous owners body shop. The question I have is was there a difference between the fore aft length of a trunk lid between a coupe and a convertible? The previous owner mentioned something about the replacement rear quarters coming from a convertible. I can't find an answer on line and I also called a prominent mustang parts dealer. Any insight you might be able to provide would sure be helpful.
