Stoopid question about decklids
Mikey-56EJ20T - December 3rd, 2004 at 06:55 AM

I know this might be a really stupid question, but could anyone tell me if any other model decklid will fit onto a 56 oval?? :duh

Cheers :cool:

All will fit-but up to about 66( any with the " T " handle ) will fit straight on.The later ones with the bottom flattened off will need to have the rear panel changed.I have a 73 on my Oval with a late fuel injected rear panel.

Wicked, thanks for that

I have to ask........
Why would you put a 73 rear end with aero gaurds on an oval???
Then fit a blade bumper back on it???
Just asking.......

I was thinking the same, rear lid I can imagine because of a bigger engine, Aero 's because of wider tyres,
but the blade does look a bit small.

Could be another Fad!

I love it
on ya

Don't worry William, i agree with Karmen, will look awesome when painted. Only difference I would make is get rid of the risers on the bumper, but that's just me!! Just the blade will do me fine :cool: Can't wait to see it finished. Mine will look very similar on the outside, but with the ej20t suby motor

Because I can???


Mikey-56EJ20T - December 4th, 2004 at 02:09 PM

Hey how much did you pay for you decklid as I'm looking for one too??


nbturbo - December 4th, 2004 at 02:32 PM

I bought the whole car to get other bits.Engine cover was about the only thing I ended up using-have swapped a lot of the bits for things I can use. Swapped the motor minus all the tinware,carb and genny for a good 73 Kombi with a good motor,but with a stripped spark plug. Want to use the front end bits and trans in my Splitty Van one day.

No substitute for aircooled power.
