69 Camaro "War"

Jason,

That thing looks outragious, got a quick question for you, I noticed what appears to be a shim, I think, between your deck lid and hinge mount. Did the deck lid sit low in the opening before installing that. The reason I ask is my deck lid sits slightly high and Im wondering if maybe a different set of hinges might give me that adjustibility or if I machine the mounting pad on the hinge to drop it down.

Thanks Rich

Nice progress, gaps are a blast .......... not.........

I'm working on mine now and have a question. The trunk lid looks as though you closed the gap on the lid edge. Did you just add weld or us a rod and fill?

Thanks Rich. No shim on the hinge that's just a sharpie mark on there. Do you have the rubbers installed? If so does it fit without?

Matt, I had to do the deck lid and the quarters. My lid had the skin installed a little off plus it was galvinized so it was a pain to weld on. Try to avoid welding on the lid and work the quarters. I use 1/8" rod and also just fill, depends on how far I have to go. This lid was the worst part I had to gap on the car so far.

I wasn't totally sure and though it might be black delrin, I do have the rubber installed, but it sat proud before the rubber went in. Its not a lot, but enough to bug me. Any suggestions?

Thanks Rich

Maybe Delmar, should be in paint stage by then
So did you end up buying welding equip. and machinery to fab sheet metal to do it at your home? Or have you been just tinkering with cool trunk latches for the last year. You back to framing or still pushing panties, what ever it takes right.
