RE: Alger?

[Theo Smit <TSmit@novatel.ca>]

It's a contraction of Alpine and Tiger: Al - ger. It's a result of attempts to
legitimize (rightly) the homebuilt V8 conversions by differentiating them from
Tigers in a non-negative way.

Has anyone ever produced an Alger fender script? I'm sure that anyone who has
completed this conversion would shell out some extra bucks to show off their
handiwork.
