Hello gasman826, I need a pair of trunk drops for the custom 300, Would I be correct in ordering Classic 2 fabrication SKU 390-771? Safer to ask than ordering the wrong parts. Thanks Glen

Ten years ago when I ordered my first pair of trunk drops, C2C was the only vender offering them.  C2C was making them.  I've used two sets of them and they fit quite well.  Several venders are offering the panels but I don't know who makes them.  The # 390-771 is the correct number for your car.  Fairlanes are a different number.  Let me know if I can help.

Gary, just out of curiosity, on your outer panels on the back lower corners.......are the left and right of two majorly different sizes? The panels I used years age, from Ford Obsolete, had a 2" radius on one side and a much smaller 2" diameter on the other!!! Easy fix, but I never even noticed the difference until after they were welded on and I began making the rolled pan for it. Not sure who the manufacturer was, but I bought them before I heard about EMS
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

No noticeable difference between these two panels.

Thanks Gary, Best part of 57fordsforever, knowledge and the willingness to share and of course the pictures. I learned these panels are made by a Veteran owned company and made in Michigan, win-win I ordered a pair, they also give a 10 percent discount to Veterans.

Sorry Gary, my loss, I need to check in more often and maybe not pull the trigger so fast. The panels I received look nice hopefully in the spring I will see how they fit.
