69 cuda finish panel

Mine had the same problem when I replaced the trunk panel. It had been hit in the rear before and the trunk was pushed in. The lock was about 1/2 to 1 inch below the level of the new trunk panel. I think I used a bolt & some washers & a come along to pull it out. It bent it up a little, but on a 69 the panel covers the entire back of the trunk lid so it didn’t matter.
