Subject: RE: Arkley?
Bill,
That is definately the same hood (appearance-wise) that was at the
Mini-Mania swap meet last weekend. Odd, it's even the same color. It is
very sturdily constructed and reinforced and definately not home made. When
I talked to the guy at the swap meet, he thought it was made in California
back when there were lots of aftermarket choices. I think it's better
looking than the Arkley bonnet and it is definately better made. I wonder
if it's even the same one with a quick touch-up for the photos?
