Unless he has booked a week off playing to come to the Nationals, I wouldn't think so

Hey Sunny Tim,
The fender mounting mirrors that I'm after are hooded & mounted halfway down the guards and are 'rectangular' in shape made by nasco.
The flash I'm after is a Hollywood D mould similar to ekdave1962 flash (yellow car) which starts at a point at the front. However I would like the strip to be wider to say just below the scratch plates with the flash flaring from about the point equivilent to the bottom of the rear window. This will allow a Special badge rather than a H badge. I then want to air brush a '57 Chev 'corrigated tin' look as the background. (I know what I mean even if it doesn't make sense to describe.) Are you able to assist? See you at the Nats?

Sorry Akka but I'm with the others. For some reason I have a dislike of the tri 5 chev's. Maybe it's because every man and his dog has or wants one. Keep the old girl closer to her heritage. Sure looks good as is, you can OVER accessorize on a car.....

All the anti chev stuff makes me laugh, at the Yamba nationals 08 Mals EK/ 57 Chev won Grand champ so there must have been someone that liked it , Trev .
