i don't think the WOB empi decklid is still available -- they did just 1 run of those -- and not even sure they are still in business (i got the same ) |

I thought about 'liberating' the top inner piece off of another decklid and grafting it in to my glass lid somehow, i've got an aronson style lid from Paintbox and a steel eyebrow type 67 lid from them coming this weekend too |

sounds like a plan, can you simply glass a the steel piece onto the fibreglass decklid?

I'm liking the idea of a steel one. I've got a glass eyebrow one at home at the moment and having looked at it I'm not sure about grafting hinges in. In the end I came to the conclusion that the glass decklid would work best with pins but since the car won't suit pins I'm going to try and get a metal decklid convereted over by a metal fabrication wizard.  |

Woah! That work is stunning!
Well in all seriousness I may source a 'W' lid from the US so... while its over there maybe Danny could do his magic?... ;-)
Just a thought ;-)
Seriously awesome work though! Any more pics of the build Danny?

The ones on the Heb are "glued" onto the original decklid.
So they can be removed later for correct vintage restoration.
