Thanks guys, my friend who needs the trunk lid is the premier sheetmetal guy in the area. Being as he does that for a living he's a bit wary of the DC trunklid. As he has heard both good and bad about them. That is why he's looking for the real as built by Henry lid.

Real is usually better than aftermarket.  Maybe, cheaper too.

Absolutely right, if he wasn't buried in eork right now he'd probably build one and it would be perfect but it would take away from his productive  (income producing).time. it's the old cobblers children are barefoot.
