That looks to be in great shape, especially for the age. A survivor.

What is the condition of the metal drip rail? Any signs of leaking/rust in between the two areas?

I would say to support the weight from underneath not hang the weight below. To pick up the top and sides with only the clamps on the drip rail and fiberglass cap seems cautious.

I have posted this handle in another thread awhile back. Found in the back of I believe a 55. As you can see it has been extended, probably for reaching the spare tire. I managed to remove the guide piece also. It is a little different than the pictures posted for the 40. Without the added...

Heading to the Salisbury gun show this weekend. Probably looking to get best offer at this point. Pictures about this post. Thanks to all the interested parties.

Flat towed from Dothan Alabama in the worst snowstorm, back in 1978, to Statesville NC. Tow car was a 1968 Mercury Montego 4 speed with 390 engine, oh a convertible. Disconnected rear shaft and that was it. The snow and ice on the road was so bad, you couldn’t drive faster than 40 mph. Just...

I am putting the stainless steel 357 mag and 44 mag on the market with a reduced price. I am also wondering if any works with kit guns? Pictures of a 50 year old kit, black powder from Ted Fellows, out of Washington. I also have a Dixie gunworks flint. The mags come with some ammo. Any...

Did you add, what looks like larger rivets on the back corners.

How does the inside lip of the gutter feel. Rusty chips or pretty solid? As others have mentioned, fixing while still attached to fiberglass is a patch at best. Is the other side cracked as well, which might indicate the roof rack theory. Thoughts would be to remove top and separate metal...

Just sell “as is”. The next owner needs something to do to be able to call it his/her own. My age is right behind you. I often ask “how did I get here” then think that I am glad I did.

Another note. Fastenal does have an east to west cut off point. If they still do. Only ship so far west and same from west to east. That is what I found a couple years back, unless things have changed.

I guess most people know about Pirate Ship. They have been great on UPS prices. Close to half of normal pricing. If they can get to Salisbury, I would be happy to send them your way.

I measured the rivets from CCOT at .458 +- a little. They do seem large for the area of the lip. The 3/16 or 1/8” do look a little small headed. I will be looking for something in between these sizes.
