Sorry to tease you guys, but.
I cut out the trunk on my impala and "hinged" it so to speak. It's really sloppy right now, but I melted a piece of transperant plastic overtop the putty and the metal tubing to be molded on the inside of the trunk door and painted. I am getting my film developed to morrow so I can give you an idea of how i did it, but for now look at the drawing i composed.

I already got an opening boot! :finger:
 Nice work though! I've always wondered what to use to open, an unopened trunk  That didn't sound right.

its an AMT kit and the detail and kit are amazing! they packaged it with a thick peice of cardboard under the window frame so it wouldnt get crushed, it has 3 different rim options, 2 different engine options and numerous numerous optional mod items to dispose of. i cant' believe how detailed this kit it. i dont have to sand any of the body either because the bodylines are impecable. i suggest you go find some amt kits, they are doing awesome lately! this impala is better than my tamiya civic i just got....i dont know how, but its 110% better in quality and ease of construction

hate to break it to you but that is a 62 your trunk idea looks good but you shouldve gone all the way across the trunk and bent the hinges in a u form so that i opens better heres the best i can do to explain it this would be what it would look like sideways(picture the line as if it were on the top of the first bar on the U) u------- heres what it would look like form top view ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! U---------------------U leave the lips on the trunk to keep them from falling through are you adding a sound system in the trunk
