once you finish your trunk , hit me up about the 06 trunk with spoiler

 

True....^....don't forget the equipment but more importantly....talent! Welding and shaping will all the difference in the final project and quality body work will help too!

Will be making a trunk later this year picking up my spoilerless trunk tomorrow!!!!

 

well guys got about another 4 hrs in and heres my progress....... realized it was to high so had to reposition hoop and got top peice fit and tacked what ya think so far? im starting to get excited lol

 

this was the old position of hoop.... had to lay back more for my liking once i looked at it some more... this is what it was after i moved it. i wanted to stay as close to that body bend in the trunk as i could so it looks factory. this is after......

 

looks great

 

very nice.... the bottom piece will be a little harder to fit though. and lots and lots of welding. congrats. when you make something instead of buying it there is a great feel of accomplishment isn't there?

 

yes sir! andy did u do the bottom peice in one or two peices?

 

so how much we talkin to make me one

 

i think i started with one but i had to do 2 pieces with some pie cuts instead to get that compound curve.

i was thinking about making these for others. i would say an easy $800 to get a painted one. and the customer can decide if they want one layed back more or what ever they have in mind, hell it's custom.

 

$800 huh?


Guess i'll go with the Hikkata one.

 

yea at 800 i would say u would have got a good deal. Its alot of work. Not to mention its all done by hand. But im a firm believer that metal is better then any other way to go with this trunk so u gotta pay to play for the quality. hopefully it will look as good as it does in my head when im done keeping my fingers crossed, so far so good.

 

Screw it, I think I'm gonna try this out myself. time to buy a spare trunk.

Only I'm not gonna make it a smooth arc, I'm gonna have it with huge jagged edges like shark teeth so nobody will tailgate me.

 

hahahhahahahaha that would look cool. all spikes! do it! you wont!

 

Lookin great, I know what the finished product looks like in my head and I'm lik'in what I see....Gary
