Re: [T3] FG rear apron success

[Timothy Kender <timothy_kender@cox.net>]

<x-flowed>Yes, I've a rear apron on my 73 fasty from them! It looks good. I've 
struggled with it fitting as the studs in my fasty are welded in place 
and won't unscrew to loosen. As a result, it comes off with some 
tugging. Of course, am misssing some body panel parts in the rear... 
Like where the latch is to the engine cover. Anyone have some spare 
metal for me to weld in there? Pictures available upon request!
