Direct-fit tail light panel for 1964–1966 Ford Mustang that secures and aligns the tail light housings while restoring the rear bodyline. Stamped steel construction with factory contours and pre-drilled mounting locations provides an accurate, durable replacement for corroded originals. This panel prevents water intrusion, reinforces the tail lamp area for reliable mounting of lenses and wiring, and is primed for paint—making it ideal for restoration projects or routine replacement to return your Mustang's rear end to factory appearance.
Features:
- Fits 1964–1966 Ford Mustang (all body styles for those model years).
- Stamped steel construction with OEM-style contours for accurate fitment.
- Pre-drilled mounting holes and correct lamp alignment to secure tail light housings.
- Primed finish for corrosion resistance and easy paint preparation.

Instructions:
- Open the trunk and remove trunk mat, trim, and access panels to expose the tail light area.
