    This is the outer skin from one decklid, the inner support from another, and a whole lot of patching. Still a ways to go but at least it's all in one piece. I painted the insides of both before we put them together. Also Im planning on one piece windows so I cut out all the vent window supports and patched in the factory lock hole. It'll have locking handles when Im done because the factory locks wont work with the bear claw latches.

    What kind of locking handles are you going to use? Are they from another make/model, or were you planning on modifying the stock handles?

    Just curious, as I just went through much effort coming to a "locking" solution with the bear claw latches on my P15.
