Neat styrene trimming, looks like it's a one man show though?  |

I refuse to answer on the grounds it may make me look guilty.

Mence, i figured id better get a good head start in case my mojo trips up again, then those other two fellers can catch up.  Thanks for the comments my friends.  Bucky - My Trunk Lid had a serious gap on the sides. I had to glue some round styrene and then smooth them in to fill the gap. Also got the side trim scraped off and smoothed. Here it is fixed   |

Thanks for the heads up, dude! How did you remove the side trim? I used the back side of my No.11 Xacto Blade brudda Buckster. I scraped almost flush and sanded out the rest. |

Take care, Bruce! The illnesses this winter are pretty tuff everywhere! I cleaned up the rear deck lid, and taped it in place:  This shows the gap Boggy was talking about. Not nice!! I'll hafta fix mine, too! |

DARN!!!!! I dropped the deck lid on my razor saw!!!   Point of no return, here! I've got an idea, tho! I'll do this:  Just a crude mock-up, for now. |

I ran into a slight problem....the interior tub is warped. First time I've ever seen that! I've had plenty warped bodies, frames, and hoods, but not interior tubs! It's not a game-stopper, tho. I can still use it.

1. Oooops. Hate when that happens. 2. Nice idea. Almost looks like a Station Wagon. 3. Booooo and yay. |

I was gonna say if you hadn't dropped it that if you just trimmed the window side edge of the lid it would have sucked those sides back to the fenders more... looks like it's too long and pushes them out...

I've had a warped tub before on a car kit, soaked it in really hot water and twisted it back into shape...

You could open it the other way, like the 32 RUMBLE seats;)
