Technical Re skin trunk lid

Ok, I'm trying to get the back of my car straightened out. I need some advice. I don't have a deck lid the car was originally a rumble seat car and I have part of the rumble lid but it's been chopped off. The op also removed the metal below the rumble lid so there's a large opening. I have a fiberglass inner trunk structure, not sure how to go about doing this , can I skin this with sheet metal ? Any help appreciated

 

Interesting. May try panel bond like auto manufacturers and body shops do on newer cars.

 

What kind of working time does that type of glue have

 

You can get 3m panel bond in several working times. That is what I would recommend. Build a fixture out of wood to support metal outer so you don't have a twisted mess when your done.

 

What kind of car is that? On Model As, the rumble and trunk lid are the same

 

32 Plymouth

 

The fiberglass inner panel is 4 a full trunk lid

 

Ok, first off thanks to everyone that post tech articles on this forum !
Here are some pics of the progress ive made in the last month.

 

Nicely done. How did you form the panels?

 

I used a brake to do the right and left side then shrunk them down by hand with hammer and dolly, until I got the right shape

 

I made the bottoms of the quarters from 18 gauge

 

Nice job there! looks great!

 

Go man go!
