Re: A thing of beauty...Tailgate letters
I like the painted script, I really adds a nice touch to the tailgate.

Re: 1940 Ford Coupe Trunk Struts
Since Drake was out of stock on this strut kit I looked elsewhere. I found them at Legens Hot Rod Shop for less $$. Legens say that they provide Drake with this strut kit.
