240260280z Posted August 18, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) I'm finally rolling up my sleeves and starting a "right proper" restoration. I'll be calling on all of you for guidance, information and support.... especially Mr Arnett.... and of course parts!

240260280z Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share #11 Posted August 18, 2015 Dan, did you ever get a chrome ring? I had another good look at our barn storage but no luck. I have just one for vin 147 but that resto will be 3 down the road so I can send that to you if you still need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
