palbuick Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 Many years ago when I had My 70 Wildcat, and wanted to repair the trunk floor, especially over the frame body mounts. Never seen a Buick that didn't have the rusr/rot in this area. The corners at the wheel well. I discovered that Oldsmobile 1969-70 had the same floor design an my buick, but the olds did not have a body mount in this area, so the metal was still solid. With a little cutting and triming the panel fit quite nicely. I had to fabricate the body to frame mount, all worked out nicely. For your Wildcat find an Olds, B-Body.Good luckJim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romy Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 Calvin,I haven't been able to find any sort of reproduction panels for the Wildcat/LeSabre, and I've looked around quite a bit. If I were you, try to find a parts car that has a good trunkfloor and grab it (yeah, I know, not as easy as it sounds.) I think that a 69-70 Pontiac Catalina (I'm pretty sure that's the right model) and a 69-70 Olds Delta 88 (Again, pretty sure) will have the same trunk floor minus the positions of the body mounts.I had the same problem, but I just got a whole new trunk/rockers/lower quarter panels to fix mine. Go to www.fremansauto.com if you're interested in the place I got them. Mr. Freman has a ton of cars, and I know he has enough of the Wildcat/LeSabres that he always is able to find me parts.Hope that helps,Romy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
