Howells Sheet Metal has the complete 26/27 deck lid or just the metal skin.
Their web site is fordor.com Good prices |

Re: 27 27 roadster deck lid
Jim. I just picked up a very nice original roadster turtle deck with the original decklid. Saving it for another future build i hope. Paid alot for it, but like you said, they are very hard to find. But i have been building my 27 roadster for about a year now and about 6 months ago i bought a repoped one from Howells sheet metal. It looks good but i have not mounted it yet so cant say much about the fitment. Check it out for yourself. Good luck, Mark.

Re: 27 27 roadster deck lid
Thank you all for your help. ZZ I didn't know Howells had pictures of both sides of the inner panel in there catalog. Being retired and having more time than dollars is a challenge.

Re: 27 27 roadster deck lid
I too have purchased the lower panel at 45.00 and find it ok but about 500.00 for the deck lid is a little over the top for me. I may purchase the top skin. I would rather restore a original or make one. Thanks Mark.

Re: 27 27 roadster deck lid
If you think Howell's is expensive for the roadster deck lid, check Snyders. They have a fiberglass lid for $800 for a 26/27 roadster. I about fell out of my chair when I read the price. Page T-64 in the 2009 catalog.
Snyders on most items have a fair price, I am not trying to give them a bad rap. |

Re: 27 27 roadster deck lid
ZZlegend, The deck lid I got from Howells fit really nice but the skin needs to be tacked to the inner frame to keep it from flexing so much. Monte

And jimvette, yes they are a little pricey but after all the running around i did looking for an original, i thought what the heck, and bought one. It looks fairly decent to, in my opinion. And then i came across this original one a couple of months ago, but like i said, i had to pay alot for it. Probably to much but sense i am getting old and somewhat senile i might forget what i paid in a couple of more weeks. Mark. |

Re: 27 27 roadster deck lid
ZZlegend, What I had the most trouble with was the panel below the deck lid. repo skin on orig. inner panel. took some doing and will never be a show car with out some major changes. My boys can worry about all that when I`m gone if they want. lol

Re: 27 27 roadster deck lid
Monte, ya i had to hand massage and fit lower panel also. Luckily my buddy has a large spot welder and we managed to reinstall it and weld it almost like was originally.
Your boys sound kinda like my son. He comes over to the house about every 3 days to check my pulse and then he walks out mingle and look at my old cars. Go fiqure. Mark. |

Re: 27 27 roadster deck lid
I looked around for a while as well, for a trunk lid and ended up buying a whole turtle deck with lid. I only paid $500 for the whole thing.
Send me a PM with your phone number and a good time to call. Larry |

Re: 27 27 roadster deck lid
