      Nascar Style rear spoiler

      Hey guys I'm teasing the of putting a nascar style rear spoiler on the comet but I was wondering how or what you guys are using as a hinge to the body or trunk. It will have the splitter style supports. any thoughts or pics showing the mounting of your rear spoilers!



      Thanks guys

      Nascar Style rear spoiler

      I built one for my truck. Used an aluminum sheet and aluminum piano hinge with some aluminum turnbuckles.

      Bring this back from a way back! How thick of aluminum should I go? 1/8 or 3/16?

      3/16 would be getting a little heavier than it needs to be. With any given piece of metal, putting a little curve (s) into it can make it stiffer than a thicker part. The Camaro part still shown above (not on photobucket) is a good example of such.
