Hood ornament + upholstery

[Anders Nilsson <nilsson.anders@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Philippe,
thanks for the tip, I will send a request about price and shipping cost
etc, and after that I think I must start to work overtime to
"catch"  the money I need......

Steve B wrote that this ornament cost around $400 on E-bay. I'm glad that
my car is equipped whit this option

Some of us like it and some don't, thats the way it is, but that is the
good thing about this kind of hobby, many
type of styles,feelings and cars is involved like hot rods, lead sleds,
rocka billy and so on....

Regards 
Anders
