1936 Club Cabriolet Trunk Lid
Hi Barners,
The 1936 Club Cabriolet Trunk lid has 8 hollow circles on the inside lid. Does anyone have a successful method of filling these in before paint? Thanks, Bruce

I believe the burlap was put in before painting, and was sprayed at the time deck lid was painted, therefore I don't think what I did was correct, but it looked nice. Worked for me on my Club Cap. Never gigged for this.

I installed the burlap through the middle holes and spread it out using a yard stick to force the burlap between the outside and inside the trunk lid cover. We also restored an original 36 5W Coupe this way, but only provided some over spray on each opening of the lid on the burlap as we believe was done original. That car got 998 of 1000 at Grand National last year. The foam will keep the burlap tight to the lid, but when you open the lid without the foam it will also fall over the openings. I have found no reason for the burlap, except maybe to keep out road dirt from getting into the inside of the lid. |
