The Ford Barn

I recently bought a nice all steel 34 Ford coupe that has a rumble lid. I want to convert it to a trunk. Looking for advice from someone who has done it or maybe just knows what is involved, Does anyone make 34 coupe trunk hinges? I am assuming I can use the same rear trunk lid and the original handle. I will need to find a latch mechanism and wondering how I fill the hole where the rumble handle is now. I will have a nice seat for sale and the rumble hinges IF I can figure out how to do this swap. Thanks for any advice. Paul in Indiana
