I threw up a thread asking for help in paint and body, but it hasn't really gone anywhere...figured I would try again in a localized request...Here goes:
My concern is that I see it getting to the edge of fixable, and this is just beyond my abilities. I've done gaps before, but this is just killing me for some reason! If anyone is willing to offer some help, or even sell some services as a paint/body guy, I'm all ears.
Here is the original message:
My stock decklid had some rust damage that couldn't be fixed so I bought a repop.
Repop was so jacked up that no matter what I did, I couldn't get the crown pushed down without putting a big crease in the trunk. Once I got that banged out a little, I had to build up every single edge and then ultimately gave up and got another repop.
This one is just as bad as the first, but I am hopeful.
Is there anyone in the Dallas area with some decklid expertise that would be willing to lend a hand to a fellow PTer? This decklid thing has consumed 3 months of my life and I'm about ready to pull out all my hair.
