Below are some pix that Chris ~ bird 60 sent me after prettying up his trunk area on his '60 Squarebird. I love the trunk interior, the red box holder for his jack with the Tbird emblem on it (you can't see it in these pix, but it is there), and the chrome he laid down in the channel areas. Here is what he had to say and the pix.
"Hi Ray, Just prettied up my Trunk channels. Before & after shots. Mirror shine stainless steel. Laser cut, 3 pieces on each side. Made prototype with cardboard. One would think that both sides would be identical, but not. I had to do a lot of twisting & bending but everything turned out good. Cost was $200 for parts only. I did all the rest myself. Tell me what you think. Yiasou....Chris "
I already told him that I thought it really helps set off the trunk area. I certainly like the material in his trunk, and matching catch all bag, and the jack box. Here are the pix. The first one will be of the trunk with the original channels. Then you will see how he inlaid them with shiny chromed material. If you look close, you will also see part of his face in some of the pix as he took close ups of his work! lol.. You can also see his trunk stopper that he uses to keep the trunk lid from closing on him. I use a chisel painted yellow that slips between the springs to keep my trunk lid open. Because I have that huge Thunderbird panel screwed to the inside of the trunk lid...
