[Patten Del R Civ AFRL Det 8/PKMA]

  I used an early model engine cover support on mine...well, whatever they
call the thing in the back that isn't the trunk lid!!  Liked to chop off my
finger grinding down the lip to fit the hinge but that is another story!!

I had hinges welded to the front edge and put an over center type latch at
the rear.  Since I've got a 110 car engine in there, I open the engine cover
frequently to check oil..
