    54 Vette trunk lid stuck

    I have a 54 Corvette that is absolutely gorgeous, BUT the trunk lid will not open. The trunk latch has been drilled and the little inards are basically stripped, so there is no way to release the latch. I am looking for any help on how I can get into the trunk of the car (without destroying anything major), as my side curtains are in there. I appreciate any ideas, thoughts or suggestions anyone may have. I appreciate your time in advance! I look forward to any and all responses!!

    Best Regards,
    Cub Tracy

    Just went out and looked at my 56 not sure how similar they are.
    If you've got the lock cylinder drilled out you should be able
    to put a flat head screw driver in the slot in the latch.
    If you've gotten this far and the latch itself is stripped out
    I don't know maybe get another latch assembly and study it for
    awhile. Where theres a will theres a way. Rob
