Thumbs up new trunk, 30 pound weight reduction

well, i cut my trunk out, welded a suport and bent up a new floor, covered it with carpet, remounted bottle, blow down, fire exting, etc etc. came out much better in person, but in total lost about 30 pounds and it looks 10 times nicer then the big hole, and still room for t-tops to be stored.

for some reason i cant get them on photobucket right now, but you can see pics on my facebook.

not bad considering ive never done this before, came out clean and neat.
hope to get to the track friday or saturday and see if i can get her down the track one last time for the season. weather pending.

I have seen many cars doing this before. Either way I cant see your pics even logging into to facebook.

Use imageshack.com to upload your photos.
