Getting ready to start pushing the inner barrels. This is my own idea to polish the barrels.

Now I can polish them like this guy polished his wheels that are put together.

And also if there is any one that is close to Atlanta or would want to make a trip here, and would like to swap trunk lids. I have a perfect trunk lid 01 dark blue with the factory wing and custom black chrome emblems. I don't like the wing look. I know a lot of guys love the wing look. So if some one wants to trade blue lids. Message me on here. Thanks.

Well here's a update. For the last couple of weekends I've been working on the trunk. Getting the base set up for the air system. First I welded up the mounts for the air tanks and then had to make the hinge tortion bars stiffer to hold up the extra wieght of the tanks.

And then I started working on the floor base. All the weeks aren't perfect but they are all solid.

And to get the panels booked down I came up with this idea. I made these so after I install the wood flooring on top of the plywood I could tighten the nuts from below and not have the bolt spin.

And the center panel is going to be on a set of basement window hinges. In this picture you can see one hinge is on. I'll get so better pictures when I get the other hinge mounted.

Got my inners but from the chrome shop they are all stripped and look great. Now I just need to polish them up and put them back together.

Nice work on the trunk so far. Using the basement window hinges was a great idea. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
