1955 trunk side boards attachment

[JRH]

Can any body tell me how the trunk side boards are attached? if I glue them theirs no way to get behind them to press to the metal flanges at top and bottom. Pics would be awesome!

The side cards just pressure fit, there might be a clip on the bottom? The back screws in and two bend clips on the bottom, at least on my ‘55.

In your pictures is that the side card or the trunk divider board? The reason I ask is because the jacking instructions are supposed to be attached to the trunk divider board.

That is the back board. I was trying to give you a closeup of the bend pins & screws.

Actually they do tuck in pretty tight.
