Probably not. The historical pictures show that the 'original' GT engine lids were made from two pieces of screened metal crimped in the middle.

I've made a couple of these GT engine lids.

Here's the link to the Vendor's page:

Nope, this is.

No. That said, there's a number of factory designs for the lid.

Now that we've established that it's not an original gt lid, can we see some more pictures of your car!?! it looks beautiful from what we can see now

Yes, let's see more of your car.
Who cares if it isn't a real GT lid, it looks like one.

The mesh material is not the deciding factor, it is the beveled lip on the forward part of the engine lid

Posted by: gms Nov 27 2013, 05:51 PM

I disagree

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 27 2013, 05:56 PM

So they were stamped that way!

Never knew that ...

Posted by: gms Nov 27 2013, 05:57 PM

yes every one I have seen however there is variation in the mesh used

Posted by: dlestep Nov 27 2013, 09:02 PM

GMS, I noticed that the diamond mesh is oriented forward in the above picture,
instead of side to side. Was that always the case ?
Nevermind, the shot is rotated.
