[Shotimes] Re: Window Tint Citat

[Ron Nottingham]

Thanks for the heads up.  But, like I said, it has been a while (like in the
in the 80's), and too much beer, and possibly drugs, could have clouded my

receipts from about 86/87 :-) I noticed the tint percentage for my T-bird
was 5%, 2 layers.  Boy, I got that one backwards!
