Re: Floor mat and lining
Here's the scoop on '36 mats - as I understand it, and I could well be wrong.
The molds used to make the mats were at one supplier, over time they got worn and deteriorated. When you got a mat,...

Re: Yet another horn rod question
We swapped out the '36 Column for a '37.
Fitting the horn rod took about two hours! It had a slight bend, and some crud and hardened grease. We cleaned everything up really well. We also took...
