LOL! Well, Rich, I just sent them an email out of curiosity but it does say it needs body work around the handle, which could mean a whole lot of things! You may recall the one I bought said, "no dents, no rust, no bondo"!!! I'm not pissed yet....

Yeah he will if its a clean lid , but they are few and in between . I shop a lot and spot less at that age is rare . .

On a different note I am adding one to the garage . The buy is so low I won't even tell you till I have it here . LOL . A 69 Cougar Convertible been stored a long time . It has it's issues but will be very rebuild able to cruise in .

351 W , 9 inch couldn't see the trans hope it's a C-4 .

Oh, WOW, Bobby!! That's just what you need, another project!!!

Yes, it looks like it has a few issues but has potential to be a really sweet ride! If you got for minimal sheckles, it's even sweeter!!!

Well, Rich, I knew there was no reason to get pissed prematurely.... The guy just called me and the lid is for a flat back. He says it has no rust, includes the handle & latch but it has been bumped at the handle so it needs some body work there. Sounds like it would be a good deal for somebody with a flat back, which is not me.... But it's good that all my efforts fixing this lid are not in vain....

Here's the ad if somebody needs it 1937 Ford 4 dr.rear doors and deck lid He's got both back doors & the deck lid for $150. He also said the '36 flat back in the pic will be for sale soon.
Bobby, you probably need yet another project, right?

Very nice work on the lid . Looks like you are into a perfect skin that will save you time .
