Hey guys,
I have an NOS rear apron but i don't know what car it's for. Any idea of the difference between the rear apron for a fast, square or notch? It looks like it's for a notch (which would be sweet) but i can't tell for sure Embarassed

In the center top of it, if it has an indent, then it's for a Fast/Square, but if it doesn't have the indent, then it's for a Notch. I know, because I have all 3 of those cars here, and the Fast & Square rear aprons look similar in shape and style. I hope this helps.

ahhh, i see... i guess that indent would accomodate a different decklid latch maybe. so it looks like this is for a notch! i recently bought a notch that came with a bunch of great stuff - one item was this apron.

bob, i checked out the roadster pics from the link in your sig... is it blue and white now or still black and white? it looks so stinkin cool.

No, it's still black and white. I haven't gotten off my lazy butt and fixed the dents that remain or anything like that, that needed being fixed before paint. I have been cruizing it though. Twisted Evil Got gas in it yesterday, and today the price dropped 8 cents. Shocked D'OH. Been working on my neighbor's chopped and paneled 71 Square (brakes). Also been helping my son with his Roadster, as he's been doing some metal work (finishing up what he started back in November).He's wanting to change the color on his, but wants the metal work finished first.

the squareback / fastback aprons interchange, but the carrier plate that the trunk catch or striker bolts to is diffrent on each model, so you need to change apron skin only if your using aprons between the 2 models...
