Hope it turns out good, cause I've been wanting to do mine. Looks like it should, if you got it looking like that in 20 mins

I went with the LeMans style offered by R&R Specialties on Ebay. $225 plus shipping ($12), saved $20 from the Mustaglia for 245, plus shipping. Probably the same unit anyway.

http://stores.mustalgia.com/Categori...ry=C3+CORVETTE

Found 3 more web sites for other LeMans doors, half the price ($118) of mustaglia ($250), but dont know if they fit.

Here's another style, but no idea where to get one.

I am pretty sure Big632 is not producing these any more. It's too bad because it is a quality piece that looks really great. Here are a couple of pics of what I did with mine:

Thanks
BIG632 was a scam artist.He sold a few,then when he got a bunch more orders,..including mine,he started coming up with excuse after excuse for months! I finally contacted a law enforcement official in his town to contact him.He knocked on his door,& asked what was up. 3 days later I got my item that was paid in full for 3-4 months If he had done things correctly,I think he'd still be raking in the cash! The lid was very decent quality. If I had the equipment & machinist knowledge,I'd be doing it myself
