    I am repairing the trunk in my Comet, but the original trunk floor is so rusted that I have to cut it out and I can't find a junker Comet within 200 miles, however, I have found a junker 71 cuger. Would it be possible for me to cut the trunk bed out of that and use it in my comet? If not, is there somwhere I can order a replacement floor panle for my trunk?

    Thanks!
