New convertible boot with correct hot rolled stitching lines by SMS.

Differential switched from 3:42 to 2:87 much smoother shift and better gas mileage.
The 3:42 posi would alwayssqueal tires on pavement very annoying.
Aluminum side panels were stripped painted silver and clear coated. many good comments on the appearance and are repairable
which the original panels were not one scratch and the panel needed replacing. New panels are available today from Jaswest
