    Hello all
    I’m looking for some help I’m trying to get my trunk kid to fit after putting a skin on it and I’m trying to figure out the lower portion
    Would any one have some picture of how it should look?
    My deck lid edge has a crown to it by the bottom panel has no crown. I either need to add some or remove some from the trunk skin I’m thinking but not sure which direction To go

    I had the same problem with my Brookville deck lid. I welded a piece of 1" flat bar across the top of the panel below the deck lid and then cut and ground it down until it matched the contour of the deck lid. I think it is easier to modify the lower panel than the deck lid.

    Thanks for the photo! I’m thinking to add some to the bellow panel to match up to the trunk. I was worried the curved panel might look off but yours looks great all painted

    I'd put a straight edge down both of them and fix which ever one wasn't straight.

    No sense in making 2 crooked lines.
