Default Fibeglass Rear Deck Lid
Finally finished the 'glass trunk lid for our 65 Catalina. Decided to have a little fun with it and have it wrapped in the Darksider logo. Turned out pretty nice. Side note: 'glass deck lid shaved about 40 pounds.

We did the deck wrap to see if we liked it, which we do. Next summer when it's too hot to race we'll probably wrap the entire car.

Thanks. We also lost 40 lbs with a 'glass rear bumper that I made. But she's still pretty fat. Need to get it scaled to see where were at now.

Things around here have been busy. I haven't had much time to play with the toys so I swing through here to get a Pontiac fix. It's good to see that you guys are still improving on the Cat.
