1969 Dart GT Convertible

...and now with a trunk. Although that was an adventure in itself. Initially when I took the car apart I noticed that the inside holes of the hinges were ovaled. So whats a guy to do? I welded up the hole and made it round just like i thought it was supposed to be. Once I went to put the trunk lid on the hinges were way out of whack. Took the hinges off and compared to another set I had noticed they are supposed to be ovaled to allow the trunk to open properly. Nothing a Dremel couldn't take care of. Once I got the hinges to line up and had the deck lid installed could not get the gap at the front to be right. Once again dragged out the Dremel and opened the notches in the bottom of the deck lid. Although my wife was not happy having to help take the lid off, put it on, take it off, put it on, take it off put it on...you get the idea. Found the best way to get the deck lid to fit perfectly was also the most inconvenient - from inside the trunk. With 95+ degree temps and cramped accommodations, it was not the funnest place to be. But it worked out perfectly. Once the bolts were tight and all the towels were removed I only had to loosen one bolt to set the height on one side. Also wanted to share a trick for cutting sandpaper that saves a ton of time and makes all the sheets the same size. I have a sheet of plywood on my workbench. I staple a stir stick down, use my sanding block as a spacer, and staple a hacksaw blade the distance of the sanding block away. When I need paper I slide it under the hacksaw blade till it hits the stick, tear, and start sanding. From here until paint is block sanding so likely not to hear from me for 2 weeks until paint!!!
