Need a little help from y’all. Finally able to get back on 67 Barracuda project. I AM NOT A BODYMAN! The rear roll pan was damaged so got a repo pan. The trunk striker is way off center! Trunk lid lines up and latch lines up. Something sure ain’t right. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

It doesn’t look like you have spot welded the striker mount back to the roll pan yet. Just push it over to line it up and then spot weld it where it needs to be.

Problem is it lines up with the latch on the truck lid where it sits. Just not the center of the roll pan. I think frame rail must be bent. I guess I need to get underneath with a tape measure
 
My '69 striker is offset to the driver side an inch by a quick measure from the tail light trim.
Dr side 25-1/4" vs. Pass side 27-1/4"

Thanks this make me feel better. I knew the car had been wrecked but trunk lid is fairly straight. The latch lines up with the stricker. I guess I can carry on with metal replacement. Thans for the help
