One of the problems with these old cars, is things eventually work loose. The deck lid is held in place by two hinges, which have a pin in them. These pins can work loose and then you have a deck lid flopping in the air smashing itself against the roof and fenders. Not pretty. To fix that, I've drilled a hole in each pin near the end just where it sticks out at the limit. I'll be using either a cotter pin as pictured here, or a hairpin-type pin. These will prevent the pin from coming out.
