Cover pic

On News stands Mar. 1 Took a few months for this to be a reality but another life long bucket list item can be checked off . Since the pics were taken the bumpers have been painted gloss black as opposed to satin black , top of dispatch box door has been painted red & tail lights have been moved up . Some will question the wing window frames but I have seen all 3 versions in many yrs. of the "Great Parts Safaris " Chrome frames & black divider bars & chrome divider bars & black frames ,and both chrome . Am getting ready for the AACA Winter Meet in Ocala , Fla. Feb 21-23 . Will post pics after return .
