This is a decklid I paneled in for my girlfriend's grandparents.
Her grandma has a very nice '49 Ford coupe that had been hit at one time and then shaved and the decklid had over an inch of bondo in it.
They wanted it filled and smoothed anyway, so I just decided to cut a large panel out of the top half of a junk decklid I had and do a little hammering on my bag then weld it into their decklid.
The piece fit great and had only a small skimcoat of filler.
The first few pictures show it on the '50 tudor I was chopping at the time- I put it on that car to make sure it wouldn't get twisted while welding on it and it stayed in one place.
