Default WTB - '68 Firebird Trunk Lid - I'm in Houston

Looking for a '68 F-bird trunk lid.

In a perfect world, verdoro green in Houston and NOS. But I've not found the world to be perfect...

Solid and straight appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Check with South TX Muscle Cars in Spring. If he doesn’t have a factory one he probably has a reproduction.

Good call on South Texas. Will call Scott this morning.

The reproduction trunk lids do not have holes for the "Firebird" letters. The holes in the outer skin are a challenge. The studs of the letters are long enough to go through one layer of metal and be secured by a speed nut.

On the inside of the lid, where the outer skin rolls around there is metal removed for the speed nuts. These would be a bitch to cut...

An original needing a little work would be a lot easier.

Any originals out there?

Thanks,

Mike

Are you close to Spring? Scott always has one or two my cars up there. He has my 72 TA clone right now. Would love to meet up sometime!
