Ps I got a thing for Pontiacs of the 48flavor and that medium green color too
Thanks Jess. I do tend to try to save as much as I can, even when I know I would be better off buying repops. But I already know how to bolt things on, I need to try to learn something (even if I learn what I will never do again!) I'm not really very fast at anything, I tend to think too much, but since I retired I have made a point of working on my projects as much as my wife will let me!

And from what I can tell the headboards vary a LOT in their fit.
