Re: IML: 61 Convertible & Great Race - Almost Ready

["Mark Jefferson" <imperialist67@xxxxxxxxx>]

To me, no Exner design screams EXNER! like the '61.According to the NY site, EXNER is available, or if you want to make more of a statement. EXNERXS is probably free as well. Hope these help. 

Looks like SOME restoration job on that Imp., Have fun with the great race.
