Jeez, if I had a buck for every time I had to pull the head off one of those things out through the gull wing service doors where there was *just* enough room to lift the enormously heavy head clear of it's studs under the floor I'd have about 9 bucks. And half my lower vertebrae in decent condition :) -- Regards, Noddy.

HD's never had the stainless side trim that ran along the length of the car that HR Specials and Prems did, but the big give away is the front bumper. The HD's bumper kicked up at the corners to form the bottom half of the "knife edge" on the guards, whereas the HR's bumper corners had this section trimmed off when they cut the guard edge back on the HR range. -- Regards, Noddy.

Unfortunately this is the resolution as they were sent to me. As a bonus hard picture, there's a shot of some ski boats on one of the Darwin Harbour beaches so identify what type of outboards are on them, and anything else. http://s670.photobucket.com/albums/vv62/phild12s131e/?action=view¤t=e78921ca.pbw PhilD |
