66 Dart trunk lid install

[66GTDART]

Went to install my freshly painted trunk lid. I must be missing something that the bolts thread into. Can’t for my life remember when I removed it how it was attached.
I would be very appreciative for some direction! Thanks in advance!

What's your hinges look like on a 66 ?

Trunk hinges slide into the lid and bolt from the outside. Can just see in this pic

Bogie, is there nuts in the deck lid as the trunk arms bolt holes all the way thru

Been awhile since I swapped mine, I believe it had panel nuts on the hinges

You can see photos of the nut plate here: Deck Lid Nut Insert

I had one that was cracked, but was easily repaired with some welding and grinding.
