Derrick,
Cost was 29.95
I think they look great.  Just finished comparing them to photos in several
PCC books and I feel they capture the unique lines of the 1700s: 17-degree
hood and windshield slant, full length roof cowl, motormans vent, drip rail
lines.
The "eyebrows" over the windshield could be rounded some, and the width of
the arc in the sheetmetal under the anticlimber (towbar clearance) could be
wider,but these can be remedied quickly with a file.  ---Removal is easier
than adding.
other than that, the upper tail lights seemto be placed a little wide.
All in all a super representation.
