69 Mach1 roof oil cans. Is there supposed to be a roof bow in it?
Hi,
I paint cars on the side and I went to look a 69 Mach1. The roof oil cans easy. I mean I can push in down, it stays, but can easily be popped back up. I noticed there are NO roof bows in it. My 67 and 68 have at least one roof bow. Did they omit them in 69? Would a roof bow from a 67/68 fit a 69? Danford1 |
