<VV> 66 Monza Convertible Project, Part Deux

[Charles Lee]

I think that it will make a good start, with those floors that are excellent 
especially for a northeastern car of any kind.

The fact that it floors, makes it the starter, and use another car to finish 
this one !

The RR quarter is the worst part but can be had on almost any LM ?

A lot of work, but I like the floor boards !
