Default Re: Trunk alignment - pic heavy

I made the mistake of repairing the trunk lid and then painting the inside and not fully fitting it up. Don't know how or why, but my trunk lid looked like it didn't belong. Had to get the hammer out and knock it into shape. The thing to remember is that these old cars were made to be knocked and bent to shape. The metal is soft compared to today's cars and will fit with some gentle persuasion.
