Jeeze Guys,get over it,a war hero died as part of an effort to maintain our right to all have a freedom of choice in life and all you are worried about is the amount of original material left under the data plate.What would you like it to be called?By the way JimH,that shade of blue masking tape is WAY too blue :lol:

I have a love/hate thing with polishing aluminum. I blame my Dad for all those years as a kid polishing the fuel tanks on his Kenworth. :lol: But I could polish on that ALL day. :cool:

Yes, Martin, you ARE! :cool: So get crackin' on the rebuild. :lol: I have plenty of friends and a some customers that built an entire car around 1 part. You can do it! ;)

Like I said, they're not worth anything here - $5.00? I reckon that'd cover about 15 minutes of your time.

:D LOL :lol:
