Hello everyone. I finally got the curvature problem remedied on my Coupe trunk lid. I think it looks a lot better with the bow in the brace and has an exceptional fit. All I did was put an arc in the trunk lid brace. How about that..... Now, I have one more small problem with the deck lid....I need to adjust it to make it even on the both sides. I have a 1/2 inch gap on the right side of the deck lid. I'm assuming that I need to use the hinge bolts on the deck lid to make this adjustment?
I have a 26 Coupe. There are 2 bolts in each hinge. Each on a slot. You adjust deck lid fit here. It is really a hit and miss deal. Tighten it up in one spot. Check fit. Adjust. and repeat and repeat and repeat, etc. Pretty soon you will get a feel for which hinge to move which way and how much. It was a PITA to get mine where I wanted it, but it fits pretty good now. Not perfect, but you are never going to get these old cars perfect within the fit of the hinges.
Jaw....Very cool. I thought that was how it's done. I just wanted to be sure. Thank you for the quick answer.
