Finally, the left overs. There are 2 passenger covers. One has been robbed of the towers and clips. There is also one driver's cover that has no drippers. May be repro but feels heavy- low perf?

Don and Martin,


Did the pictures help at all? Does it look like I have the covers paired correctly?


Thanks,


Jason

Well Jason, seems you've got a real hodge-podge of maybe everything. I've marked a couple on the attachment of your original picture which seem to have the shape of a 69 Chevelle. However, I don't know which ones in the other photos are these two. Most of your descriptions provide multiple clips, but there was just the one clip on the 69 Chevelle cover (driver side outside).

OK, I know the one on the right is set one since it is the only set with duct tape around the towers. I will try to figure out which the other is. Thanks for the help.
