From my own experiences of building stuff with exactly the same foam you should be able to laminate over it giving you a nice solid fibreglass base to work with at the filling stage.

 Now, that we have the decklid opening up above & beyond any interferrance issues, we can get along with the body modifications.......
Up 'til this point, prior to this post, how many people had actually noticed or even considered that we would have to custom make decklid hinges?
More to come...... |
|
Would taking a bit off of the height off the "humps" or placed back a tad bit more, make it possible to still use the stock hinges? Or is the seat headrest also a factor in this? I would guess that "just tilting the seat back forward would be to much of a pain to do each time the trunk was to be opened.
Could you give me the part # , place to buy it etc. info for the foam stuff you are using please? PM if possible thx

I would change the angle of the head stops on the decklid, so they slope in the opposite direction of where it would meet the seats. This would give you some more clearance. You also could shape the front of the decklid in a "C" shape and could match it up to the waterfall center console with a round bull nose shaped opening at the meeting edge. Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

Not much to report yet this week. We've been working on customer cars and working at getting our cars ready for FieroRama this weekend. On top of it all, I've spent the best part of the last 10 days moving into a new house (new to us anyway) up in Rockford. Haven't had my good computer connected to DSL for about 4 days now, so I'm running behind on my PFF watching and I'm sure I'm way behind on EMail. I'm on dial up now & it sucks. I'll be back on a cable connection sometime Monday. Archie
