I lucked out and found an original 1969 trunk lid for $150 and it was in very good shape and no rust. However it had a few minor dents on the inside brace by the leading edge. And when I picked it up you could hear alot of stuff inside moving around. The car it came off of was said to be a 1967 RS that was wrecked and the deck was stored indoors since the late 70s. The ad said 67-69 Camaro trunk lid $150 and had one poor picture of the top side. After learning so much from this board I knew what to look for, so I had the guy email me some pictures, that is when I knew it was a 69 lid. After getting it home it appeared to have a lot of filler so I figured it had a lot of holes drilled and excess lose filler was what was making all the noise. I looked it over a while and got the bright idea I could take it apart without grinding the edges like they do on the door panels. With a few different size screwdrivers and a hammer, I got it apart, and I might add without butchering it up. What I learned was that when they build the lid they put alot of dabs of black caulk? like stuff inside to fill the gaps between the panels, and through the years this stuff drys out and falls apart and that is what was making all the noise. Now that it is apart I can tap out the dents on the brace and after inspecting the top side there is two small creases that also can be worked, but they sure did use alot of filler for small creases. I've attached a few pictures and if anyone would like any more specific shots let me know while I have it apart. Thought this would be interesting to some and I hope this helps.
