Well after a few days to think about how to fix the problem with the deck lid not sitting right or closing I came up with this. I first put a relief cut in the body just above the rear fender area by the deck lid. Then I put a relief cut about in the lid about 18" long on each side. I then added a section to the bottom of the oval to give me that nice 1/4 gap between the deck lid and the bottom of the oval section. Last I filled the gap up with some medal from the donor car.
All in all it looks pretty good. I'll have to extend the hinge brackets under the hood and figure out if there is some way to still use the spring that keeps the lid up when you open it.
