Looks good in the picture anyway. Who knows what it looks like under the braces and if he cut it high enough at the rear.
I drove to WV to get one that looked good. Things like that you almost have to verify before you buy.

What???? There was actually a factory option for a scupper drain in the channel corners?
I've always been amazed that GM didn't make that standard. Any 12 yr old can look at at a rusted out channel and immediately see that as a solution.
Never made that modification myself though. Anybody have pics of theirs.

Update Pics (72 Cutlass Supreme)
Got the trunk pan installed and etch primed. Decided to lap the joints vs butt joints and use body filler to smooth out the seams.
The repro pans are Golden Star from Tamraz - best price I could find with free shipping. The fit was very good.

Here's a pic after spatter paint. I used Zolatone 20 series over medium gray primer and sprayed it with a HVLP primer gun using a 2.0 tip (largest I had). The Zolatone TDS recommended 40-50 psi input but I had to crank it up to 70 psi with the fluid adjustment full open.
I think the next time I do a spatter paint job I'll buy or borrow a pressure pot gun. I have a shutz gun for undercoating and bed liners but I was afraid it would be overkill.

EDIT: I used 1/2" copper tubing and over-flared the end. Then contoured the flare with the pick end of a body hammer.

One more step prior to installing rear window - have to re-do the gray paint line on the lower pinch weld. I mistakingly cheated into the interior lower molding that needs to be black satin or the gray will show through the window.
On the advice of my paint supplier, I used gray direct to metal urethane primer and urethane clearcoated over it - the clear coat to prevent moisture penetration.
I was planning to use epoxy primer but my paint supplier advised otherwise. Go figger.
I'm going to install the window myself using the method and kit described here:

Imagine trying to clean that crap out of the pinchweld channel around molding clips and the white vinyl top that has to be peeled back - on a hot Texas afternoon.

UPDATE:
I didn't buy the kit from the vendor as stated in my above post. Instead - I bought a tube of SIKAFLEX P2G urethane and a Riobi cordless caulking gun and a roll of CR Laurence 1/4 inch foam tape.
The process is fairly straight forward and the back glass went in with out a hitch. NOTE: The self cut triangular shaped cut in the applicator as described in the above video applies about a 1/2" tall triangular shaped bead which allowed us to vary the pressure on the glass at specific points along the uneven pinch weld flange and achieve the proper glass standoff from the channel. Also, we had three areas where the urethane was applied too thick and it squeezed out into the pinch weld channel. After drying it was easy enough to cut away with a razor knife.
One Caveat: The foam tape which we used as a dam only - not as a standoff shim; After removal, leaves a film of sticky adhesive that had to be removed with a single edge blade and wiped down with Goof Off solvent (or similar solvent) which took about 30 minutes. I may shop for a different foam tape system the next time.
I do advise practicing the application of the urethane bead (about 6-12 inches will do it) on a piece of plywood to set the proper speed of the cordless caulking gun. There's plenty of urethane in one tube to do a single backglass or windshield so not to worry about wasting product for practice purposes.
Glad we did it this way since I have 2 more windshields and one more backglass to install...so saved a few coins in the long run.
Riobi Gun - $100/ 4 installs so $25 per glass, plus Sikaflex P2G $10, plus Foam tape $20 = $55 per glass installed

Installing the the SS molding was a whole nuther story. Many expletives flew around the shop and almost led to flying tools.
We had 3 molding clips that kept falling off the aftermarket screws that replace missing nails. The narrow clips in the pic just wouldn't cooperate. Only after reverting to the wide clips were we able to seat the molding.
