    On my 34 Ford 3W coupe, the trunk hinge attach structure is missing. It attaches at the forward trunk drain channel and thats it. Can some one show a picture or describe what I'm missing? Thanks

    The part you need is made by Steve's Autorestoration in Portland. Go to their website and check out their catalog. You will see the bracket you need and the hinges as well.

    I am not sure if they are exactly the same but I would imagine they are. Here are mine from my 5W. Hope this helps you some. The mounting holes are slotted for and aft for adjustment about 1/2 of an inch. Cheers-- Former Washingtonian

    Randy P, is the bracket attached at the front to your rear window drain?

    I am looking for the same bracket. SAR will not have any for 5 months. Does anybody else make them?
    Thanks,

    Yes, they bolt to the window drain. The bracket that is attached to the window drain is riveted on. They are a simple bracket that can be made really easily then bolted to the window gutter, instead of rivets. There is a piece of sheetmetal on the inside as well to help support the "load" on the gutter piece.

    Jonathan beat me to it, but yes it is bolt to the L-brackets on the rear window drain.
