Great to know good bows are available with the hobby losing so many good suppliers.

David,


Hopefully you have enough of the old bows to determine the hole locations for attaching the bows to the irons as my experience with the hole location marks on the bows from Oak Bows are not completely accurate. (That's a quibble. I too like their bows.)

Clayton,
Not working on roadster.
Still hidden in corner.
Working on a 68 Chevelle SS396 4spd convert for the boss.
Deja-vu car.
She drove a hardtop version 79-83 this same awful color.


David,
Top is still intact on the car.
You are right as some holes need to be drilled.
He did a nice job on the recess tor the two t nuts.
Quite pleased with these.

Are your irons plated or polished stainless? If plated, do you plate before or after riveting?
