For once I'm quite satisfied with how it turned out. The goal was to have a boot with a hard cover, wide opening, but keep the rollbar and struts. With the fuel filler moved to the top, another challenge was to integrate it into the look. Talking looks, I wanted it to be close to the tonneau cover the car originally had. The result shows the upper edge of the bodywork covered with leatherette. The carriage bolts simulate the press studs you normally see there. Two chromed hinges are used to fix the cover to the rollbar basis. A cabinet latch is used to lock. A nicely chromed escutcheon covers the hole for the square drive.
Cheers.
