Thread: How to build a trunk lid for any early coupe

Tweet

In a perfect world, and with patience, it will end up like this. Of course, one point that I skimmed over is the positioning of hinges and a latch mechanism. This can be a varied as you want, but whatever method you choose, it should all be done before the skin is attached, while the bare frame can be put in and out of the opening and everything perfected BEFORE the skin goes on. The first time I did this, I just about fell down dead at how easy it was, and how well it worked. If you are carefull and take your time, there will be absolutely NO BODYWORK required on the exposed trunklid surface.---just a light skim of bondo on the edges (after you have finish ground all the welds).
