Default Another fine mess-CAUTION-CAUTION !!!!

Et.Al.,
Remember this stage?



When I attempted to bolt the hood on the "internal" steel plates came unglued resulting in the entire front inner hood having to be cut open?

Well time for the trunk...all in the 1st stage of primer, fitted, aligned and ready to bolt on.......Right...once again the main steel plate (for the latch!) let go, causing the entire section to be cut-out, new plate made (the original one wasn't even cut right nor drilled right), glued in place and the entire asembly refiberglassed back in place.




Cpteddie, the light is my gift. Auto on/off when the trunk lid is opened/closed. At this point whats a little more glass work?

At first I was telling the guys to be very carefull bolting up the hinges front and back...well now I say test the plates and make sure they are secure before painting!
(I have found out since the hood nightmare that DON was NOT responsiblefor this poor asssembly but it all goes back to Leisure Industries/IMAR.)

Maybe now I can get it in final primer-wet sanded and striped!
Sigh....better now than after delivery. Cpteddies a big guy!!
