Test-fit the rest of the parts I have on hand today. Not bad. -

Hillbilly bodywork, continued.

Welcome! That a Chevette or VW-powered BCW? We’ve got a couple of each in the group. They’re an excellent example of the TDr type.
You bet we’ll be at Carlisle. Looks right now like 6-8 TDrs and maybe more than that, depending on how last-minute troubles develop. Looks like we’ll be holding a cookout for our group alone, and there are many events… -

Under $2.50 here after a tax increase. It was over $3.50 not too long ago so I wonder what the beef is.
