WAY back in the day Rick, Howard and other R model model owners allowed me to measure wheel openings, lift-a-dot's (for the window lift straps), among other things, and the Murray Bro's as well out in Boulder, Jim Cowles in Green Bay, Tony Conover, Paradise is CA., Scotty and Curt in Connecticut. I am deeply obliged to all as while some have criticized my effort, I have been all over the R Model since I was knee high, and would never put a number to it. Great shots. You all inspired me to get it done. I did it for me, not for profit. I'll never get out of it what I have in it.
This is the best group of gear heads around. And meeting almost all of these people has been a large piece of my life. One of the biggest pleasures was the sight of one of my fuel tanks in another tribute staring at me.
Drive 'em like you stole 'em.
