Very nice indeed. Where did you find a complete NOS kit? Pretty rare these days, yes?

Re: Fording Kit arrived
Gary,
I'm not to the point of being ready to install this yet. I will need to sandblast and paint it to match. I did notice while putting the kit on the shelf, that I do have extra duplicate parts now. I was trying to piece a kit together originally.
David,
I did allot of searching in old posts of parts for sale and happened to see this on a shelf in the background of something else that was for sale. I guess you could call it dumb luck or good eyes. The kit is all dated 1966 and in the original foil pouches along with the original packing slip and drawings.
