Rear Apron Reconstruction

The skin of the apron is done and the seal retaining strip is welded back on. If I was to do this again, I would start by marking the center of the strip and the center of the curve at the bottom of the apron. Match up the 2 marks and work my way back up from there. Starting on one end worked too but I ran the risk of running short on one end and long on the other.

The decklid is mounted but has not been fit yet. It does not look too bad, but the curve of the lid is not right. Next up is to remove the hinge strip so I can do some clean-up and remount it so the curve of the lid matches the curve below the back window. You would think for $500 they could get it right!
