Yes, it came on Friday. I have an email drafted to you and I'm waiting for the pics to upload from my phone to the computer.
In the meantime I'll go ahead and tell you here.

Well, of course, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is! The trunk lid came yesterday and it's not really as "perfect" as I had hoped. It's not as nice as he said either but I'm sure I can make it work. I'm just not sure about the best way to go about it.
It's had some work done on it and that blue is definitely not original. It has a little bit of cancer on the lower portion and a skim coat of bondo on the whole lid. That's why it's so smooth! I feel like I should probably grind it off just to see what's under there. They may have bondoed over some pitted rust the will eventually turn loose. I don't need that kind of headache after I get it painted.

I'm not sure if I should cut the spot welds & removed the inner support to do repairs or what.

I'll post the pics and soon as they upload....Here are the 2 pics the seller sent.
