Rodger does he lower part of the trunk stay in place now? I thought I remember you saying that any way. I think you guys have pulled it off from not looking like you did anything. If that made any sense??
I'd weld the whole thing shut and bondo over it - Coddington style...
I'd put some 40 Ford taillights frenched in so it would look like a proper HOT ROD... but mostly - I'd just get the POS finished.
No 40 taillights,and referring to your other comment,perfection takes time,Greg you must be patient.remember the theme ;PROJECT SLOW MOTION,of course there is a way to finish the POS .....I could go to the Bank of Greg for a loan
