My '57 trunk lid sits high (higher than the surrounding bodywork) in the front passenger side, leading edge (corner nearest to passenger). Is there any adjustment to be done on the hinges themselves or is this a shim between body/frame issue (assuming the hinge is ok)? I do not see how shims at that hinge/underside of trunklid junction would help as the whole area seems high. Any tips appreciated.

Re: C1 Trunk/hinge
Im trying to remember back to when I restored my 58 , but I think there are some shims underneath the spring towers in the trunk. If you have shims under the passenger side by taking them out it will lower the trunk lid . This will also affect the top hatch at the same time , but if it makes your top hatch to low you can then shim under the hindge on the too low top hatch and raise it up without affecting the trunk lid.
I'm sure there are guys on here who do this on a regular basis and can explain it better than I but I think that is your solution.
