I decided to Do my own Thing and Be Different ;D ;D Ok Now Here Is My Deck Lid I Am Working On For My 67 Cal Look I took a 4 vent deck lid cut the vents out then took out one of the center vents making it a 3 Vent Deck Lid I then Shaved of The Lic. Plate Light and Sunk the Plate in cutting the lid just below the eyebrow it still has the 67 eyebrow I think it looks pretty good But it's an awful lot of Work and a Ton of Welding and shrinking the metal, the inside of the lid is still Original Ruby Red Paint.. Let me Know What you Guys Think? I hope It dose not get Copied Before My Car Is Done. I am also doing a One Off Deck Lid for my 58 Ragtop.and a one off Cal Look Dash.. I will Post Pictures as I get Closer ;D ;D
