generously oil the under side of the trunk and the structure that supports the shafts the body rotates on. make shure that the wire clump rotates a little, j.b.quick it, wait.... test rotate.... if cool, gently pry the j.b. quick from the body.... wash both surfaces thouroughly... paint the body, when happy a film of j.b.quick will set you up !

Good looking Funny Car you've got there Smitty!

That's actually a pretty cool lookin' fade going on there with the flames emerging.

Also cool hinge creation there. I'm gonna have to be getting adventurous to pull that mod off.

Good use of CHEVY parts, even if you hid them with a Ford body!

fred has more than enough junk chvys... and the crusher says that the chvys stink up his machine ...
"blue" paint helps make the parts useable ...
