The holes are there, but filled, but I have no assurance that this is the
original apron. Also, I found 5 or 7 smooth letters in a box of junk that
came with the car.
>From the input so far, I think I am going back with ribbed even if I have to
re-drill the proper holes. Anyone need some extra smooth letters?

Can anyone shed some light as to whether I should have the smooth-faced
letters or ribbed letters on my '58? The Moss catalog gives the changeover
as 'uncertain' while the TRA Judging Guide gives Comm #50000 as the change
point.
The PO had filled the holes, of course I have no way to be sure this is even
the original front apron for the car.

So there's no evidence at all of the holes? The PO must have brazed or
welded them up very nicely, then. ;-)
I must respectfully disagree with the TRA Judging Guide if that's what it
says. I know for certain that TS71909L (built 3/28/60) has ribbed letters as
original. TS73624L probably did as well, but it has a replacement apron
with no holes at all.
