At this point the only data I have collected show early LOS cars.  Still need more early NOR cars to add to my list to make a determination.  At least on the data I have been collecting.

Decklid - they used that most of the way thru 67 production. There was an earlier version, but I'm not sure LOS ever got that version.
I'm also curious on the decklid date. Should have asked that. No hurry. :)

Thanks!

  The lid with the center elongated hole was for the '66 period, correct?

Mike
I'll correct my statement (I misread some data):
Yes, on 66 built cars, both NOR and LOS.  Changed on NOR cars about the beginning of the calendar year. Probably LOS too.

ok, been a few months since Ive had time to get any solid time on it, between the cold WX (no heat in the shop), and having to put a new motor in the inlaws exploder, I finally got to spend 5 hrs on it today, here what the damage I did.

Pass quarter is off, rear panel is off, piece between the trunk and window is off, fuel tank is out.

so whats the trick to getting the piece of quarter out of here? Or should I have left a lip and butted it up? Might do that on the drivers side....  Thoughts?







ALOT of spot welds on this, I just went at it with a grinder on each weld, I counted like 86 just in that center section!




Had to put the new back piece on for fun! Its not a big deal, but gives ya the feeling of the new to come!


Under part doesnt touch it, I knew it was pushed in some, Ill bang on that once the quarter is sitting in place.

I tried to read it but the lettering was gone, probably whatever they had at the factory for labeling parts?

Oh? I thought the build sheets were on the interiors of the cars.

Yep, I know what it is, and to put it back on, it wasnt doing much, it has a HUGE gap to the quarter, and is welded to the 'gutter'

side view, and I didnt chip anything out, its just hanging in the breeze

 Ah the La built cars had one slapped on top of the gas tank.  Careful with it until some experts chime in about it.

It could be a piece of tape. Gotta clean it and see.
