I have V8 car and would like to set the trunk to open from the rear. I am having a hard time visualizing how I might accomplish this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shocked[1].gif) Does anyone have any examples? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

Are these example of the "trunk" opeing from the "front" what you are invisioning? The rear trunk already opens from the rear. If you are talking about the front trunk, it would hinge at the front with a couple of gooseneck hinges from a variety of donor cars. Opel GT, Lancia Scorpion, Fiat x1/9, Lotus Europa, are cars I'm familar with. You will likely need a prop rod too.
The 300E benz has a nice hinge design that allows the lid to open 90 degrees vertical for service. |
