I'm looking for the 1975 or earlier Brazilian flatish decklids. Where can I get one from? Thank you in advance!

They are horrible. I had one in hopes to make a wolfburg lid out of. The 4 piece inner structure was so poorly made the seams didn't hardly touch except the spot welds. I sold mine just as I bought it for about a $50 loss after shipping it to me then to someone else. But if you want one try

Thank you for the feedback, I heard the inner structure is weak. I plan to remove it anyways as it looks pretty close to a '58 decklid. I need a look alike temporary one for now.

I would have to redo the inner structure/latch anyways, good idea or wasted time??

If you're only going to use the outer skin, go for it. If you use a 59-65 inner structure you could graft in the top center inner of the repro to get that look of a 58 lid.
