Yes,.350 made. Now if you can find #350 that would make a cool pair of sleds. I really like the sliver with blue stripes. I bought the seat material for my TF & LF to match the stripes. I will try to get them sewn in the next couple of weeks.

Polish or not to polish, the chrome look dosent look right to me, but the flat stripped color seems off too. :think:

Less the glue of course!!!

Throw some ideas at me, I was 13 the last time I saw a new JD in the showroom. :lol22:

Soooooooo after removing the decal you can see the tunnel was a bright finish, this obviously from being new so I went for the polish look. Its not 100% yet but I had to put some of it together and work ahead a bit.
