Hi Dan,
I bet your glad you jumped on this list. It's kinda like me in law
enforcement, there seems to be no end to the questions, 24 hrs a day. Oh
well, I still enjoy it, even after 30 yrs of it. My question to you old shoe
is this. We were working on my hot rod tonight, you remember it well, Don
Duerksens old 90 Berretta. We were looking at the spoiler again and
discussing what you shared with me at the World Finals. I need to know the
following. My trunk lid curves around with the furthest point back being in
the middle. Is the 10" plate measured from that point back or where the
curve stops on the outside edges? Also, can the side plates be in any other
direction other than straight up and down? Thanks for the help and see you
at Muroc.
Dave Haller #93 still C/GAlt and wet up here in the soggy northwest.
