Well you could be right there Nick but mine was restored back in 1987 some 22 years ago and that was all the decals I could get from the Old 20 Parts company at the time. As they say in Scotland...take what you have and you will never want ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick I don't plan on doing a respray at this point in time so I'll leave her the way she is in the meantime. Thanks for the offer though.
