    Nice save there, Phillip....
    That probably would have been a pain in the neck to try and install after you’d already gotten the welding done... it definitely would have taken way longer than it did doing it this way.... just goes to show, rushing into things, isn’t always going to get the job done faster....
    Take care and be well, my friend...

      That's right, my first plan was to cut the latch in last, but after doing it this way, I realize that would have been a lot harder. Have a good one friend!

    I agree...smart move making the modifications while the patch was easily manageable! 'Looking forward to seeing the welded-in panel! NOW I know what to look for when I install that latch kit in my project! Thanks for sharing, Phillip!

      Thanks for watching Harry. Hope you learned something about the latch setup that is useful to you. I’ll be welding in it soon. I am so ready to move on to a different project. I saw where you emailed me. I’ll respond to that later this evening!

    Nice work! Good thing that you noticed the handle/latch issues at this point, not after the patch was welded.

    If you lost a screw, you'll probably find it with your knee, that's what I tend to do.

    Hey Phil...an idea. What if a guy was to get one of those really small diameter paint rollers....adapt and affix to a contoured pole . In order to roll in a coat of heavy sound deadening coating on the inside walls before you button up that end piece? If it works....then I'll do it! Nice lock/latch install!

    • @phillipshotrodgarage
      @phillipshotrodgarage  Год назад +2

      That would probably work. But do you think the pray in kind would work also? Have you seen the coating Eastwood has that sprays out of a long tube?

    Nice job....mount it before you fully weld it ....see if it will latch smoothly

      Great idea, except that there is no latch portion on the car side yet. I have to install that also LOL.

      @@yobop6072 yes, it was a rumble seat car. From what I have read, all special coupes had rumble seats, so there wont be many others out there with a trunk like mine. I think I'll get much more use out of the trunk.
