Started gutting for my rebuild and found a couple of areas needing new metal. I can fabricate if needed but if these are available somewhere I would prefer to just buy them, preferably new. In the photo the highlighted area that hold the seal for the front trunk and, also highlighted and circled in red the area that mounts the front hood release. I have a feeling this is the second hell hole on the car based on where it is welding is gonna be an issue.

BPic he's waiting for me to get back to working on Taylor's car and use the pieces on Taylor's trunk channels.
Based on my schedule for the next 6-8 weeks I won't be back on Taylor's car till May. Here's what Mark's had created. It was created primarily for the channels around the headlight buckets. If I were you I'd snag that piece Rich has offered up. If you don't take it I probably will take. Most cars have the issue your seeing in that left upper front trunk channel corner. The way they layered it it leaves a pocket under the old foam seal. As does the piece Rich offered. The channel corner I repaired on Doug's car somewhere close to the end. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...=2&t=249327 The trunk pull pocket is a real tough repair. I think I did it on one of Mark's car. Can't find it at the moment. I'll keep looking. That's a real tough place to work. |

Aluma-steel, galvanized or plain clean steel? |
