    Need a quick measurement

    My FIA body has a few extra inches of fiberglass around the trunk....something like its owner. I assume I have to trim the opening roughly to the orange line in order to attach the sideways bulb seal that I found in the weatherstripping box. I just need a measurement for how wide to leave the flange. Thanks

    Thanks, Jeff. Looks like the body saw gets some exercise tonight.

    Okay, great. Looks like Jeff's 3/4" is a winner.
