A lot of work went into the hinge mount. Stripped off all the plating, tapped out the body of the hinge (round) removing the waves left from the stamping process and plannished the foot on each side to make a flat solid foot and rounded the foot slightly like the originals. I brazed in the bung and lapped the mating surface. A great piece to start with for sure but just dialed it in.

Next World level work. Most times when I look into an engine bay and see the trunk hinges I cringe as the welds holding the hinge mount look so bad. I know this will look very nice- the hinge mount looks beautiful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

^this is why when I start to do body work on my car my camera will be tucked away in a cup of frozen water in the freezer to prevent me from taking a quick picture and embarrassing myself.

Got the Six on the Jig today. I'll see you on Sat. And we'll go over the car. I just got the 911 done and back to Tony Callas today so I'm ready to dig into your Six now. I should have the parts back from media blasting by friday.

All the suspension points etc. lined up great on the Jig as expected, the car hasn't been in any major accents.

Kent, what is the tubing size of your jig? It looks like 3x3.

As usual, Kent's fix is excellent and perfect.

Does he walk on water too? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Wow blocking off panels...things are moving ahead Michael pleased for you,its been a journey.
Considering the quality of the bare metal finish there shouldn't be too much flatting of the primer for the tub.
Have you got the paint codes for the gold yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
