[DeTomaso] Need new deck lid

[jderyke at aol.com]

With the price of a good used steel decklid today and the difficulties in metalworking a damaged one enough to be acceptable, you're better off looking for a lightweight fiberglas or carbon-fiber aftermarket lid, at maybe half the price. Note that of the OEM steel ones, there are ribbed units on '72-'75 cars and flat decklids on '71s. If you aren't picky, there are a few so-called 'cut decklids' that show up where misguided owners trimmed their OEM units to fit around Weber carburetors instead of finding a fiberglas one to chop up. Cut-lid prices vary a LOT when you can find them since many don't want less-than-perfect body parts on their cars.  
 Good luck- J DeRyke
