updates on fiberglass MkI fenders, and such...



I'm still wondering if it isn't Body Parts/Showcars, whatever. The
geography's right. If so, I would give him cash only after I'd seen the
part. Mind you, my hood was cheap enough, but he sure had a bunch of them
that were worse than mine and he was still hanging on to them. If it's him,
long story short, search the archives, it goes back to a deal initially
with Josh Able.
