This weekend I was determined to figure out how I was going to get my trunk mounted again. When the car was tubbed all of the original hinge hardware and mounts were cut off to make room for the wheel tubs. This wasn't an issue when it was being raced since we just pinned on a fiberglass trunk lid, but now that I wanted my steel lid back on and hinged I had to design a new system.
I found some hinges off of a 2000 cavalier at the local pull a part. I really liked these hinges sine they were completely different from any normal rear trunk hinge.
Here are the hinges I pulled.

I made a pair of platforms that I could weld up underneath so the hinges would bolt right on.
