And as you can see here, the good body has the most issues in the trunk. The whole strip where the trunk latch is, is completely gone. On the donor car, it's there, just the weather stripping channel is rusted out.

Thanks guys. I actually have a donor vehicle but I'm not sure how to get the channel out. I suppose cut it out. The donor vehicle has a bit of rust on it as well but not nearly as bad. It also has the bottom strip which as you can see in the good car, it has been rusted out . Here is the donor vehicle

Can someone please tell me what this is called and if I can buy a new one? I haven't had any luck with finding any for sale. If they're not available for purchase, how would I fabricate a new one?

Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking about pulling the parts body off of the cutlass frame and putting my good body on it. The splice is a pretty good job and it already has 4 link rear suspension The "good" body is on the factory frame

Can someone please point me to a link with pics of the Cavalier steering rack conversion? I have 2 P15s and one of them is on a frame that has a Cutlass front and rear spliced in. I may use this frame, but I'm curious as to how the stock holds up. I'm doing a 5.3 swap and need the steering column out of the way.
