Metal work is complete on the trunk lid. Outer shell is spot/tack welded to inner frame and holes drilled for emblem. The trunk lid has some fitment issues caused aftermarket quarters. All problems at this stage will have to be corrected with filler.
I have the front to back placement as good as it can get. At this position everything is slightly off but any change from this placement makes other parts of the alignment worse. The side to side is not perfect but since the lid is coming off again, I'm not going to worry about getting the side to side perfect right now.
Holes drilled for emblem.
The quarters are not the same length. This is giving some fitment issues. The left quarter is about 3/16" longer from corner to corner compared to the right.
And some shots of the corner gaps.
Looks like I need to address this. Slightly over 1/8". I have seen numerous photos of GTO's with the left side trunk lid hanging below the quarter. I wonder if they were all aftermarket quarters?
Passenger side front
Driver side front. Gap is too large. I need to address this.
