Hey,

Anyone got any ideas or know any place I could ship a stock 64 sedan decklid to, to get it louvered almost exactly like a 64 convertable? I need the louvers for more airflow to my 1776cc and also want to replace my lid already anyway (these things are fragile! my spring broke the bracket in the middle, just not all the way off) I guess I'll be more careful with my decklid next time I restore one, this will be the third on the car.

Anyhow anyone knows or has any ideas on how to louver, let me know.

Thanks

Try contacting Rob "Dr Decklid" Lagrange. He modifies decklids to resemle convertible versions. His technique was featured in Hot VWs sometime last year. Check him out at: www.sandiegovwparts.com

Yes better suggestion. I failed to notice you were talking about stock vert louvers.

You don't want to be rolling one of these in the new millenium, lol.
