Recent body off rebuild , Everything on this 20+ year rebuild was taken apart, rebuilt or replaced. I used nos or USA parts when available. Rebuilt completely stock - suspension , etc. Powered by a professionally rebuilt 49 8ba flathead.hersh09@verizon.net

I read somewhere about using right stuff - does that work?

I am back for some advice on installing Vintique covers on my original reworked and repaired running boards. I have test fit covers and they seem to fit pretty good.
