Your car evidently has been hit. The rear end of the 67/68 is concave about 5/8" by design/style. There is no defined bend point as shown in your attached pic.

Little disappointed in this Forum in the fact that no-one could take the time to snap some similar shots as above of their 67 or 68 tail light panel so I could see how the tail light panel is actually supposed to look undamaged.

Going by the single response, I've ordered a replacement panel, it will be here Friday morning.

Owning both Mustangs (two of them '66 vert GT & '68 coupe) and a '08 Corvette and being on both the Mustang Forum and the Corvette Forum I can tell you there is night and day difference between the two forums. On the corvette forum if I would have asked this type of question regarding the vette I would have gotten 100 responses with pictures and other facts.

 

Sorry to hear you are disappointed with the forum. I thought Slim answered your question. If you wanted to see pictures of a 68 taillight panel you could have checked on one of the parts sites or googled for an image.

 

Moral of this thread. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

No, actually the moral of the story is don't bother coming to this forum because it's filled with folks who think they are all that (which they are not)

Good to see America is back to helping one another.

 

Seems like a lot of 'panties in a wad' over nothing. Step back. Take a breath. Smoke 'em if you got 'em. No need for mud slinging. This is an excellent forum and I've actually been a member since 97 despite what my profile says. Some times things just hit you wrong. Let it be. People here do genuinely want to help and promote the hobby. You won't see the dog piling here like on some of the other forums. No need to knock it. Chilax.

 

^^^ +1...... people here are pretty responsive and knowlegable...Maybe an "off" day or so.... I'd relax some...
