heres the decklid in all its glory, had some serious issues.
i started working on this yesterday. i dont now if you can see it, my eyes and photos suck, but the whole inner lip underside area was gone all the way to where the seal hits. so i had to reshape and remake all of it.
its all tuned up now.

I've been watching the progress from the beginning and can't believe that all that metal work is being done from scratch...just awesome. AMD isn't making any money off you. BTW, you do know you have a 1970 trunk lid there.

Nice work on that hem-flange.
For the inexperienced, the lip patch is difficult to control, both with the compound shape of the lip edge and warpage from heat.
Well done as usual John.
Did the tailpanel trunk flange escape the knife?

Great job on the lid repair. Hopefully by the time I get there I'll have the guts to patch stuff that will actually be seen from the outside of the car.
