[Tigers] Correct trunk hinge fasteners

[Jay Laifman]

These comments about the painted stud and nut has revived some shadowy memories.  I am thinking that maybe that is what mine was.  Though on that red eBay one, the screws look too tall/domed and shiny to me.

I can tell you that the Shelby Prototype Tiger still has the indented hammer marks in the firewall from when it went back to Shelby to get a 289 installed.   I can also tell you George Boskoff hated that modification and told me I needed to fix it before taking the car to Tigers United.   He didn't want anyone thinking that it was him making that modification as he would have done it with a little more finesse.
