WOW!!! I'm so excited after seeing all these great build threads by others to finially be able to start my own thread on my SS. So with this nice weather, I decided to put in my trunk kit.

Here is what it started out as. I did clean up some of the surface rust first.

This was about the time I was going insane trying to figure out how this all went together lol

And here is is complete for the most part...

I still need to velcro it together but I wanted to make sure everything was in the right place first. I thought it was a great kit and definately improves the trunk appearence. But I do have some questions on where exactly the small hinge pieces go. If anyone has this kit please let me know.
