If you are into repop parts, Bert's, Brattons and Snyders and other repop parts houses have what you need to make the conversion.

Didn't those articles provide enough photos for you? What are you wanting?

Pluck

This thread is an answer to something I’ve been considering. I’ve got a 30 coupe with a rumble seat. I’ve had the car for over two years and have never used the rumble seat. I’m seriously considering removing the rumble seat and converting to a deck lid. Thanks.
