Well I haven't done this yet, but one of club members (which is on this
list!) has. It looks good in the back of his 85 and hides whatever you want.
   Give Dominick a email at dominicksvw@YAHOO.COM
Dominick, if you read this , give us all inlightment about how to do it.
Maybe some pics(I didn't take any at that meet, wish I did). HINT HINT
