Either it's an optical illusion, or that plug is sitting much lower than the one that I installed in Howie's car. Looks like a nice neat install though.  |

The front of the trunklid opening is a good two to three inches too far forward, the trunklid should end BEHIND the gas cap depression on the quarter...Like this...

that plug is sitting much lower yea, the plug is lower and the trunk lid is about 3 inches to big . that makes the metal in between the window and trunk lid shorter . thats gonna affect the hinges too . keep posting pics Peter . this is intresting. hey Peter did you weld that in yourself? nice welding . i wish i could weld like that. |

yea man , do the wing first . it'll get you excited to do the nose. plus it's easier . i think the trunk lid should clear the wing with no problem .  a cooler of beer and a comfy chair and i'm happy too. Rene |

I say no , the Pivot point is incorrect !!! It is going to close for sure . Old saying , measure twice , cut once !!

most likely he will have to weld a stop on the hinge to keep it from bangin the wing denting ithe lid or knocking paint off |

How about using bike chain as a limit device ?? [/ factory superbirds actually have stops welded in to limit it so you dont smash your fingers between the wing and the lid , but I like the chain idea |
