I wouldnt buy it.
How about going to howell sheetmetal out of texas, they have deck lid skins for 110 bucks.
then you can build your own inner structure.

I got my quarter patches from Howells and was very happy with their fit, also appear to be the same gauge. I've used lots of patch panels before and these seem to be above average, so I would guess their decks are prolly purty nice too.

I contacted howells and they will sell the innersturcture for $260, with about  a 2 week wait after you order.

dang, that ain't bad. kinda makes buying an inner structure sound better than making one.

Pete,

Check out this video....nice "A" deck lid about 1/3 of the way into it.  I'm not sure how to attach the video itself.
