Spent the morning welding and grinding on the doors. They are now ready for sand blasting and primer. The outside door handle is installed and looking good.

When I considered the trunk lid prop, gas spring, and the scissor prop were the choices. Then I was at the Marina a few weeks back and saw these hatch props that are simply a tight wound springs.
This will add a little touch of vintage individualism. I can fasten to the inner trunk lid with a couple of small screws. Maybe 8-32. And the bottom of the spring will fasten to a little metal bracket that will weld to the bottom of the drip trough along the side of the trunk opening. See pics Attach file: (111.83 KB) (88.08 KB)

I have had no luck finding the clamps that holds on the bumpers so we drew the shape and made a batch of them. These will be painted the same black as the frame.
I have extras in case anyone out there needs them. Attach file: (280.26 KB)
