I was looking for a new bag for my 56 Custom Royal and bumped into a complete kit on eBay. Put a stupid bid in and won.
Picked it up yesterday.
I was thinking that *MAYBE* it might be possible to get somebody to scan the outside of the bag and colour-laser print it onto sticky vinyl for others to use on their less than perfect bags. I tried scanning it but I couldn't get it flat enough. Needs more work.
Here's what I got (almost everything in the instructions - missing the mounting nut and washer. No biggy):

Sorry. Sort of changing the subject but this was always one of my favorite topics that I haven't seen in a while. "What was your best or favorite buy?".
We've all possibly had a few but one that comes to mind was the 4 aluminum NOS 1960 Plymouth headlight covers/ surrounds/bezels/whatever they're called?
$17 each on eBay. They were from Mexico and I guess, no one wanted to take that chance. I did and what a great buy.
People are not looking at eBay like they did 10-20 years ago so there are some rare things that come and go and no one knows.
