i need a trunk lip that holds the rubber seal for the trunk lid or does that get replaced with the quaters and the other sourroundibg body parts or is it a piece of it own.

Claycity,

You're kinda in luck, because I have that section of my 68 down to bare metal right now. I went and looked at it for you. There are four pieces total. The inner part of the lip is separate on the sides and top - looks like it is attached with spot welds to the quarter panel on the sides and the rear deck filler panel on the top. The bottom lip is all part of the rear panel though (the one with the tail lights).

I know you can buy the rear tail light piece, and the quarters and rear deck filler panel you can get, but the inner lip part I have never seen. I bet a good body shop could make new pieces using your existing as a template.

Good luck.

Got my set from Ricks its a 3 peice set that has the left/right and top sides. As stated above they are spot-welded and you will have to remove them to mount the new ones. Dont just cut off the edgeds making them flat and hope to weld in new ones. I found they fit pretty good and am happy with them. Remeber if you order them that shipping to Japan is not cheap so if you have other parts being ordered try to include them with those parts. Other Camaro Parts cataloge also carries them but all mine are at work. Ricks Catalog is completley online at www.firstgen.com (http://www.firstgen.com)
the page for them is 161 Part # PP77 3 Peice Wetherstrip Edges. $46 count on as much to ship them also.
Good luck on the restore, glad to see your putting it back on the street where it belongs.
