I am working on my project and have got the wheel tubs in but now I need to relocate the hinges in ward because I don't want a lift off trunk lid due to it being heavy. This is on a 69 Coronet. Is there anybody out that has done this that has some pics.
Thanks.
Robert.

That's the reason I ended up with a glass decklid.

Instead of relocating the hinges my chassis guy modified them to clear the tubs. The lid won't open as far but there is still plenty of room to add fuel and get to the batteries.
