Walt,
Been busy with the Easter week. Finally found time to get theses.
Hopefully theses photos will help you.

My 55 Caribbean had parts of a rear tack strip, so one had to be made. I like the idea of making it out of aluminum, but mine was made 15+ years ago. This is a compound curve, so it was quite a chore for the body shop.


The next set of pictures are from a 51 standard convertable for comparison.
