Default Luggage Trunk Needed

I need to replace a metal luggage trunk that was damaged in accident. Look at the attached pic and let me know if you have an idea where I might find. I assume the replacement, if original, will need to be painted. Thanks, all.

Hello and welcome. Couple of things:


1) The pic is super small so at least I can't see any damage.
2) Can the damage be pounded out?
3) I see them come up from time to time on craigslist or a local model A club
4) Maybe add you location
5) You may want to make your own out of wood?

Thanks, Mike. The photo is pre-accident, undamaged.
I've considered the body shop hammering out the damaged trunk. The shop is fixing the other damage from being rear-ended. Photo here.
But, may be cheaper, according to shop, just to buy and paint a replacement.

I believe that the damage may be beyond repair. Just start shopping model A sights MARC, MAFCA swap sections, or local swap meets. They're out there.

I've got a metal trunk & appropriate rack that goes with it (hard to find) that I am trying to sell. It would need to be restored, but it's a better start than what you have.

It's a Kari Keen trunk. I can try to upload a picture. Where are you located?

I don’t know why it won’t allow me to upload a picture from my phone. But I can text you pictures if you’re interested. Google Kari Keen Trunk to get a visual of what it looks like.

I'm in Oklahoma City. Been talking with Kustom Classics in Ft Worth about repairing the car. Can you send pics to 405-210-1530 or to [email protected]?
