I picked this neat counter display up at a local swap meet years ago. The box was missing half of the units at the time. Over the years I was fortunate enough to find five more NOS boxed ones to complete the display. These really do work well at tightening up the front end of your T.
Appreciate the effort letting everyone enjoy your collection Jay but those would look great on my counter display ! Merry Christmas !

I use one on my car and like it but I still wonder....Jay, how do you do it?
Thanks again
Steve, I took a better photo of the back board at full res. You can photo shop it, blow it up, print it out and glue it to a backboard for your display room.
Here's the link:
