That looks like a neat solution you done there Chis :classic:

Chas, you're right about it being a poor design, I'm pretty sure it's the main reason these cars always rust out on the hatch deck.

That looks fabbedulous. What stock did you use? That's what I want!

That is 20ga sheet metal, same as most of the car. I almost used heavier gauge but realized I would probably blow holes

in the original metal. You know I think there is a product here that every Z owner could use, 2 one piece plastic channel pieces with self adhering waterproof glue that can be installed in 5 min. I'm not that guy but someone out there could make a few bucks and do a great service to the early Z world.

This tip should be a SCHTICKY!
