G28 - Simple Mans, Simple REDO of an G28 LP640

[Simple Man]

 while back I spent some time modifying an OEM replica inner front trunk lid to fit the G28.  I abandoned that and started over as it just wasn't working

made a metal frame, cut bent and welded to match the curve of the fiberglass lid ...treated for rust prevention.  Added Latch  to frame

Used panel bond to attached to fiberglass lid

Made foam inner trunk lid glued in placed, sanded to shape

Fiberglassed over that

Rage gold then Rage Ultra to smooth everything out- love the rage ultra!!!

Painted flat black

here is a picture of the REDO trunk when I went to look at it to buy it.......

what was I thinking?   

[Simple Man]

Got the fuel lid on, added an end piece so in can be fastened with a small recessed screw to the body.

Added studs to the driver sail panel, dura glass then CSM

Anyone know how the actuator is wired up?  I can get it to open, is the close wired into the ignition switch?

[Simple Man]

spent my day limbing trees and doing manual labor. 

When I could steal away, work on the passenger sail panel.

I can really say this is a big improvement to the build.

still have some adjustments

Sail panel II

a lot of work but worth it

now I have both sides

I have a Jose Ortiz fuel hole? and a fiberglass lid for sale , Cheap!!

Awesome man I hope you make it down here some day soon.

Greatly appreciate you taking the time to document these efforts. Helps future builders that you can make parts fit with a little effort. So many will benefit from your build thread.
Thanks again.

Thank you Dale!

here are the two wheel wells on the redo

one looks like it is close the other ??

you can see I sanded the body line on the drivers side

AutoPro and OEM also shown

have to mull this over 

[Simple Man]

Hopefully your project is in better shape than the REDO 

Nope, it’s way worse. Lol I will have a ton of trial and error. Once I dig in on mine you will see.

Keep up the great work!

Getting a glass of wine and hitting the hot tub!

You are doing fine job with what you have.
Let this remind everyone why these should never be called a "KIT" car!

Thanks RT!  I know I go into a lot of detail on my build
thread    But this is what these builds
 are like.

I am really enjoying the process, but have no clue when I will be finished

But wait there is more !!!
 
Over all I like the FGP parts but they put this nasty black primer on.  The gel coat is to thin.  So sand off the black primer

Once the black primer is removed you can see all the things they had to fix.  Used some rage to fix some issues

One thing I noticed on the passenger side it the length of the OEM Replica rocker panel...seemed long

So I cut of the finished edge in the front of the rocker

the cut off the amount needed, to get the rear of the rocker where I wanted it to be

Then Grind, CSM flip Grind CSM grind CSM

dont forget to acetone !
