Thanks to everyone for the answers to my chrome headlight rims questions. I
had forgotten about the peaked fenders of my series 1. I didn't care for the
chromed eyebrow type on the Rapier. I just remembered seeing the round rims
on someone's car at the last Invasion and it got me to thinking. It must
have been a later series that I saw.
It must just this long winter we're having in Pennsylvania. The brain is
freezing. Can't wait for Spring!
