Found some Prelude trunk hinges at the junk yard on my way home from work! Looks like they will work pretty well!  ::thumbup

Bu**er !, I had completely forgotten to post the tailpipe bracket I had drawn. Been a bit distracted of late .Brackets posted in the drawings section , I do not have a measurement of how far down from the front edge of the tailpipe these would mount.

Much appreciated Mr. String! That is the one thing I've been lost on, how to mount these in the factory position! Thanks a million!!!   ::thumbup

Tip is looking great, have you found a suitable perforated metal for inside?
Yes I have, but it is a little spendy! There are cheaper (thinner) versions of the stuff but I would rather it look good!

About your door handles: How are you going to hinge the handles with a flat bottom? and wouldn't the paint adhere better to a roughed surface rather than a polished one?  I do know that you need an etching primer for aluminum prior to paint.  Looking good though.  Jim
I plan on welding a hinge point to the bottom, and they are actually stainless! But you are probably right about not polishing them or they won't accept paint! Thanks for the heads up!  ::beers

Thanks to String for providing the Sketch up, Pedro the PDF to reference from, and a little motivation from Alan I was able to make my console hinge!  ::thumbup

Thank you,  i am building that plate for Mr "USMC_Butler"  it is a hand fabricated part so, flaws are to be expected, but the CF came out fairly nice and has been done with several layers.
