69 coupe/conv trunk lid or skin?

[1957pistol 11]

Why are these impossible to find? Anyone know of where I can find a skin or full repop. They seem to be a dime a dozen for the fastbacks but nothing for coupes. I have a "fixable" original lid, but its jacked up and with the time I'll have invested straightening, fixing, welding, (or sectioning) filler and sanding, I may as well have a new one.

thanks

Yeah, it's kind of a head-scratcher why they aren't repopped, but they do show up pretty regularly on eBay and at swap meets if you're patient. Genuine factory parts are always superior to repops anyway.

I think I should buy a cnc machine and press...

I could use one too!

I grabbed one with a couple of dents that still had factory gloss on it for my coupe for either $75 or $100 at my local mustang salvage. It was even off and all I had to do was throw it in the truck

I would like to know where you see nice fastback deck lids for a dime a dozen! lol

 

Almost all I've seen have the lip rusting away.

I think he meant fastback repro's.

 

Might be a time to consider the swap to fiberglass unless you dislike the fastback spolier lip look. If you get strapped and don't mind fixing a small dent and plan to add a pedestal spoiler or mind filling in some small holes also I have an amazingly 100% rust free one that I might be pursueded to part with. I was eventually just going to use it as a canvas to attach all the parts the got totalled on my car and hang it on the garage wall someday as I have no intention of ever switching back from my Shelby fiberglass one now.

I bit the bullet and started seperating the spot welds and cutting today. I am going to slice a 8" (or so) piece from the lip to above the curve and about 18" wide. No better metal than new metal. I like the look of the original vs. the shelby. The shelby kickup is nice just not for what I'm going for. Thanks all, and if I destroy it, I'll be on the prowl for a new one. (-;
