Yes Rob, I probably wouldn't cut the decklid if it was uncut to begin with. I have the original uncut deck for the car in storage.

This decklid is a spare I bought that came of a race car (#1508). It actually was first used for Bonneville speed records, so it has had a cover of sorts mounted for aero reasons. There were lots of holes to fill. then it was briefly used for Gr4 racing in europe on one of the Danish Team witch Craft gr4 cars. Since it was more or less ruined, I may have gone a little overboard with the hole punching !!!

The idea of enlarging the entire opening is not mine - as mentioned, the Detomaso factory did this to the factory Gr4 cars, when they switched from running Holleys to Webers.

This car will be mostly for racing (I intend to do some historic racing under FIA rules), so there will be no engine cover
