Just at tip for you guys on windshield trim removal

[dilling]

I work at a pro shop and we have a indction heater too remove mouldings and trim all the time , what it does is makes electromagnetic waves that goes though plastic too metal and makes it get hot , and the breaks seal between glue and metal. It is does work, never used it on a asc though. If you might have better luck finding junk yard that has one.
here is a link to company sells them so you can get a ideal how it works it like 2000 tool

can you tell me if the deck lid was made just for asc ?
does anyone have pictures of a asc torn down i wantto see how they built it

I have no proof, and I could be wrong, but I have always felt that the deck lid was from a 2-door sedan notchback roof Mustang. I have never taken dimensions to prove this, just the naked eye.

No, I have never seen step-by-step photos of how they were made, but through the years, most of us can piece it together, by looking at them.

Ponydude I think posted that he replaced his decklid with one from a notch and it was the exactly the same.

Probably the very one the car arrived wearing when it came into Autry Avenue ascMcLaren plant.

Has anyone ever replaced the glass in a rear hatch on a 86 McLaren Capri and can the replacement glass still be found?

Bubble back glass?

Replacements can be found in junkyards and on ebay, etc.

New stuff is pretty much gone. I have heard of one NOS bubble back resurfacing. It was found in an autobody shop and sold for cheap (like $100)

I have 1 extra bubble back glass at home that I have an attack cat guarding.

Mike is right. We did replace the decklid on my 85 vert. We did have to make minor modifications on the hinge mounting points, I guess to account for a slightly different body angle. And the lock cylinder hole has a plate welded on it on the inside and the outside.
