Has anyone made a trunk lid in 'glass? how do ya go about incorporating hinges?

I've a mate who's lettin me talk him into makin one for me, he's confident about making the mould, etc but we'renot sure of the best way to hinge it. Any ideas guys?

I have a mould..... I belive it is the same trunk lid as yours, only the trim differs I belive. Post a pic of your trunk lid.

Mine is not hinged.. ut I am sure it could be done!

I do have a hood mould... But it is totally different to the Plymouth. The trunk is different too, mine is flat, where yours has a line down the middle. Sorry thought I could help there!

Glass Hoods and Trunk lids are always best as Lift Off type a la "M" Code cars.

Don't expect it to be waterproof.

Pete- I guess they'll flex a bit- not usually a good quality if ya want summat to keep water out!!
Jeff- I thought they were the same too! Ta for the offer anyhoo
