Closeout Panel question

[wingcar]

I have a question for the group: 
I know someone who is in the planning/part buying stage of building a Daytona clone and will be using a fiberglass reproduction rear window plug.  He wanted to know whether or not he still needs to buy a "closeout" panel.  I told him that he would only need a closeout panel if he is using a Chevy Vega plug, but it was not needed with a Daytona style plug.  Am I correct, or am I giving him bad information?   Just don't want to lead him down the wrong path........

 he will still need the panel to modify and shorten the deck lid .

So The "closeout' panel is used to modify the front of the deck lid only......is that correct?  I ask because he is talking about buying the piece that goes on the front of the deck lid from a vendor.....Is this considered the "Closeout panel?
I have an NOS deck Lid and so I have never seen a Modified deck lid......thanks again.  (Just trying to keep him on track)

He wont need a third gen dutchman to make the trunk lip , but he will need the panel close out panel to modify the deck lid if he is using a standard charger lid .  Gean Gregory make a nice steel one .

He'll need trunk hinges/rails as well, as the closeout panel, what's he planning on for a window?

[wingcar]

He was talking about using the one janak sells
(I have an NOS rear window that he has tried to talk me into selling, but if I did sell it...I would like to see it go on an original Daytona that needs a window as it's date coded....but that's a whole other story)
