it. That way, I have a baseline and I wouldn't be wasting any time. I'll
know that it's either a runner or a parts donor/curb queen in just a
Amen, but 35 years in my case. When i was doing it often, I had a 1/2" x
9/16" antique S wrench that I used for the lock nut. It worked very

Gump was born with black interior, and after many cans of Duplic-color

What color interior does Gump have? This one has a maroonish brown body
with brown interior, and it has some quite decent seats, a bit dirty, but no
