Yeah, not sure exactly how many were made or still exist but they're pretty scarce.

I love seeing your work, very nice and professional!
Thanks, it's not as bad as it could have been for sure. Atleast there is a little bit left for patterns.

You have your work cut out for you and I'm in for this build.
We see it a lot too. Since we're the only shop around that does glass/weatherstripping on older cars we get tons of cars that are fresh out of the paint shop. It's amazing how many are quickly patched up and painted and the owner never knows!
