Polished Trim.............







Starting to look Finished.......I hope my "Patience" holds out with the Repro Parts Speed Bumps

Sounds like your experiences are the automotive equivilent of the "Out Of Towners" movie from back in the 1960's.

There are plenty more that are under construction such as Chad's and others. I don't think there will ever be a shortage of in progress cars.

Actually.........The Clips were correct but weren't Heat Treated and were dead soft ......they should have been Spring Tempered to work correctly.........Got more coming from a different supplier.......and I have my fingers crossed.........As usual a Simple thing became very Difficult.......Quality Control????
