<VV> Lower Shroud removal questions

[J R Read_HML]

Hi Harry,

Guess I was not clear.  The bellows and connecting rod are still attached to 
the lower shrouds - which are in summer storage and not attached to the car. 
The doors are wired to "keep them from flopping".  I think there was an old 
joke about that, but can't repeat it here.

Later, JR
