"The next issue is how high do I make the striker? I can't crawl in the trunk after the body is on to measure, so I'm trying,to,calculate it by measuring all the pieces (trunk, hinge, body, etc.). And where do I mount the striker? What does it need to look like? Will it clear the inside of the trunk lid?"
When I built my slabside about 20 years ago I got inside the trunk with a flashlight and closed it (I told my wife what I was doing in case something went wrong!).As I remember it didn't seem that tight. I am 5'11", about 160 lb. If you are too big get a smaller person to try. Once in in, the design of the latch should be obvious.
