I cut several ribs out and placed the. Across the back of the decklid so I could maintain the natural arc of the decklid. It’s amazing how strong it is.
That looks really good- I actually took a damaged deck lid and wrapped some Mylar film around it, then expanding foam...after it dried, I carved it to get the right shape and then wrapped FG around it...It came out pretty good, but I realized that where the edge of the deck is the FG won't create a square edge, so then I made a pattern and layered some FG to make two end-caps....right at this point I contracted Lupus from a stomach-acid prescription (Don't take any of the (acid-system Modifying) drugs...Only use acid absorbers like tums and Maalox).
Also, I experimented (In paint) with different lengths...I really wanted to add some length to the back-end so it didn't look chopped off.
