71 Cutlass Ragtop

Looking for a 71 Cutlass Convertible deck lid.

What is the difference between the convertible and hard top lid...?

71 Cutlass Ragtop

The convertible lid has rounded corners. The four door Cutlass shares the same deck lid as the convertible in 70 thru 72 though. The 2 door hardtop has more pronounced corners.

I haven't done it myself yet but I've been told that you can round off the corners of a hard top deck lid to make them fit a convertible. Anybody else ever tried this? http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pts/4330648980.html

It would have to be a Cutlass Supreme deck lid. I was told after rounding the corners you may have to weld the inner panel to to the outer as they may seperate. Somebody just posted a 4 door 71 for parts on here today.

I have one extra convert trunk lid left.

I would just fix yours. Its not that bad. I small patch and it would be ready to repaint.

Took the car to a body shop in Hurst last week and they quoted @ $1,850 for the repair. I'm taking the deck to a couple of other places for a couple of more quotes.

That might be a little high to fix the rust and paint but not crazy. I think you might be able to save a few hundred and still match the quality of the rest of the paint.

Okay,

Got another quote for $410 to $500 to prep and paint the deck lid if I have it soda blasted first. Blasting it cost $80. How tricky is it to remove the molding around the lid?

How bad is yours? Can you post a picture? I have a spare I may sell, but it will need some work too. Local pickup only.
