    I bought one a couple of years ago from a place called howes I believe. It was all steel and fairly well built.

    Don't buy anything direct from Howells!!! They will take your money and not deliver the parts. Only purchase parts from them on ebay.

  5. I bought patch panels from Howells on ebay a couple months ago and they shipped out and I got them within a week.

    If you do manage to get a deck lid… consider buying the inner and outer skins separately. The inner skin will need to be fit to the opening, and the outer skin will need additional shaping that can not be done once assembled. Buying an assembled deck lid is better than having no deck lid, but taking it apart to fix it will ruin your day.

    Flat as a pancake!

    Thank you all. I just need the inner panel. I will try Howells antique auto.
     
  8. See if you can get it off ebay. Howell’s is located in Beaumont, Texas. They want good ratings there so are good about filling orders. They go by 09-40 Ford Sheet Metal on ebay.

    I picked up a Howell's decklid for the Sugar House roadster and we had to work it into proper shape. It wasn't the worst but it wasn't right either.
