Thanks 73X - I'm liking it more & more every time I see it. So I finally was able to get the tailstock on my 4 speed changed. If you remember the shifter box mounting holes were damaged when I bought the 4 speed. Feb 26th (4).jpg And I was able to find a good replacement tailstock. Feb 23rd (3).jpg ...
Finally I was able to put the rain gutter trim back on the car.
Problem with a white car is that stainless trim doesn't pop out as much compared to if it was painted a darker color.
