Title: Playing around in the Garage
Post by: Shubee2 (DSK) on January 27, 2009, 05:25:47 am
I was Board the Other Day and decided to Play with the Welder and some spare deck lids spent about 5 hours  Welding both these just need to finish  the metal work on them, they  came out good, I tryed Zacks way on the 67 lid I wont do that again LOL the later Deck lids are shorter and fat and the vents are flater then the 67 lid so what you end up with after welding it all up is a curved deck 67 lid with flat Vents they dont have as much curve as a 67 vert lid So I had to put a curve in the vents so there flush with the curve of the lid they did not warp much at all from welding but I had to do alot of tweeking of the vents to make it look right.

alright, don't you think the other 3 vent decklid will be a bit too funky for a car with trim?
