A friend of mine and I spent about four hours on the windshield trim of
my 67 BGT, using bent up crochet hooks. I've still got the rear hatch
window to do. Can you give me an idea of what "hooks" you used, where
you got them, and how big is "medium"? I'm gonna hafta treat my friend
to a nice dinner to get him to come help again! I hope I only have to do
this once in a lifetime!
