yea thats whats great about old cars, everything was functional, hoods, side scoops, brake ducts.
did more work one the trunk/ endcaps. I trimmed the endcaps the best i could. I added fiberglass to build up the gap.
before
getting there
after, much better but still not perfect.
fiberglass
Shit is still dumpy as FUCK !
So why do the fiberglass pieces have such a shitty fitment? Are they really cheap or something?
for some reason the trunks /end caps are always really shitty. The front end fits decent. The upper side scoops fit close to perfect. Each car is different so its hard to mass produce a part that will fit them all.
Yea, I’d think depending on age and how its kept, exposure etc, metal flexes and expands/contracts and changes a bit overtime so its very hard to get panels to fit all cars 100%
then again i could be completely talking out of my ass, but thats my guess
more fiberglassing. I got the back of the trunk/ endcap sitting flush but the bottom edge of the trunk is still unsquare and uneven so I put more fiberglass down to create a new edge.
gap looking better
bottom of the trunk

I heart build threads with lots of pictures.

:lol INORITE? I think the korean knock off fiberglass parts for our 240’s fit 100x better :lol
What is that wax paper? Are you laying that down then using a roller on top?
Nice progress, fiberglass can be tedious but props for sticking with it to make it all look right.
I feel you pain on the fiberglass after making my own sideskirts for the lexus this winter.
I have an entire can of fiber reinforced filler if you want it. Just taking up space in my room. I didn’t even use any of it
yea its wax paper, i use a a bodyfiller spreader to flatten it out. works great.
ron, possibly. im not sure if ill need it yet
