Just to add some info, the rear lid spoilers for the 64-66 are not been manufactured anymore. I learned this last year searching for one in every mustang parts store I found in the net and others found in post at different forums. So I decided to buy a complete deck lid with end caps included from CJ'S.
The 1st one I got from them was shipped wrong. They sent a Fastback one and mine is a convertible. That one is still in my garage due to the cost involved shipping it back. The correct one was sent and this one turned out to be a pain in the neck. Fitting was bad,bad,bad.,the freaking thing had an upward bend by the pass side of about 1/2", had to get a lock rod extension cuz the original was 1/2" to short. The passenger side rear end of the upward curve the meets the rear was 1/4" but at the driver side it was 1/2"To me it looks like the mold got opened in the process and was not corrected. The end caps also didn't fit flush to the tail light panel at the side they meet the tail light bezel.
So after the problems were solved I decided to have a local fiberglass shop make a mold of the spoiler part of the lid and the end caps. After the spoiler part was installed in a brand new lid everything was back to normal .Looks as good as it should be and a perfect fit all around.

BTW, The dreaded "E" word won't find you much for 65/66.

Nice work ARPM. Oh yea, I can't wait to see your taillights, too.
I got the fiberglass ducktail trunk deck for my fastback and the fit and finish were, also, very poor. The end caps weren't even close and the trunk deck was short on one side and long on the other. In the end my body man did a great job to get everything corrected, but I spent more money to correct the poor quality parts that I did buying the kit.

The tail lights lenses are 67 Shelby from Cobranda, The bezels are also from Cobranda but I had them Chromed in a local shop (Didn't like the satin finish they came with) The buckets are from Scott Drake and I will be fitting a sequential tail light kit from Mustang Project with Led Bulbs.
