[DeTomaso] Glass and Fiber Decklids

[Cullen McCann]

Hello friends, 

 

There is a carbon fiber decklid on ebay at the moment. Seller claims its
used but does appear to be in good shape. Price is 2500 bucks. I don't think
I'm buying a 2500 decklid right now but who of our vendors sells them so I
can budget and price compare against my options.new to used, etc? As well as
fiberglass? 

 

I have rust ( of course) in the leading edge of my deck lid. I CAN repair
it.but it will be a painstaking process to do correctly, and keep heat
distortion minimized across the expansive diaphragm like character of that
decklid. Like anything else im weighing my options for repairing the lid I
have, vs. good replacement steel deck lid with no cancer, a fiberglass lid (
will mostly likely need hours upon hours of fitment work) or a carbon fiber
lid. I assume they need to be fitted too.but I don't know how to work carbon
fiber, if it can even be done? I can trim a panel like anyone, but if you
had to fill a carbon fiber panel to bring it into true.I honestly wouldn't
know where to start.

 

Keep in mind that labor doesn't particularly scare me, and the best solution
for me is not usually to buy the version that solves my problems the fastest
and easiest. I'm just thinking about practicality and logic..well and the
sexiness of a carbon fiber lid too..  ;)

 

Thoughts?

 

Thank you all for your thoughts.
