[FC] FC Roof Removal

[J R Read_HML]

I don't know if this will take you direct since it is password protected. 
The password is Corvair if a sign on page pops up.  There is a picture of 
lclc's "CruiserBrier" or whatever he calls it.  Years ago, he grafted a 
Vista Cruiser roof to his Greenbrier.  Many of you have seen this vehicle at 
various conventions.

Oh... many other interesting cars are in Larry's garage(s).
