The trunk lid lock does not line up with the striker in the trunk, so I can not lock the trunk. I suspect during the restoration when the new hoop and bracket were welded in, the body man simply welded the bracket in the center. I suspect it should be off center to the right a bit looking from behind the car for proper alignment. The trunk lock is a fixed location with no adjustment. The striker does adjust left and right some, but not enough to line up correctly. I am not looking forward to removing the bracket and re-welding it since it has been painted already.<div class="yiv9944809190" id="yiv9944809190x_yMail_cursorElementTracker_1517895142099">Mike
