you are right my friend, i shouldn't have used the word "New" because the "New" parts on this aren't as easy to come by as "New Old Stock" parts. but then i am quite sure you didn't really mean to say one couldn't find;
stuff like this?
or this kind?
or perhaps set like this?
or may be these?
or perhaps you didn't mean chrome trim like this?
or perhaps rubbers like these?
or may be you warned me about not being able to find some NOS bumpers perhaps?
well thank you for the heads up my friend, now i can safely say, that i have been warned by my good friend here. but let me put it humbly my friend, where there is a will there is a way, as now you can very well see in this post.
would you please now wish me luck with this humble project?
