getting trunk



Holidays are great. You visit your folks, you eat a lot, you hang around. Or you build a hot rod. That's the way ACES member Raphael prefers to spend his days off around x-mas. Here's what he came up with: an aluminium trunk lid, completely built from scratch just because he didn't like the fit of the original one. And yes, it looks so much better.

Homebuilt handle.


Our man fabricated the inner structure...


...as well as the trunk hinges.


Nice view.

  2. He works as an airplane mechanic/restorer. So during his days off, he sometimes takes the model A to his workplace next to a hangar with an airfield. That guy has amazing skills for sure.
