914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Team NARP GT Engin Lid

So far I'm doing 3 but I think Thomas wants me to do another.
The first one is for Linda.

I wasn't happy with the ones that are out there.

So I desided to see if I could straighten out some grills I had laying around and give Team NARP GT Lids.

Hope you like them.

Perty tough making them straight.

This one belongs to Thomas. He is off trying to get more grills from Ron (Silts would never give them up).

Looks good Joe!!

Do you plan to cut the brace out like the "true" GT lids?

Nah, these are just for the street cars, I think the springs will come out of the one for Carerror. I haven't gotten that far yet. I found some gas shocks that are rated at 5 pounds.

Looks good Joe. I have GT lid and the only problem is geting it to close flat. I think I am going to remove the springs and just use prop of some sort to keep it open when needed.
