RE: 63 330 at Moshers

[Ron Crossley <rcrossley@xxxxxxxxx>]

The only cars, to my knowledge, that came from the factory with the bracing 
removed were max wedge cars. And they were cut from a regular hood. I don't 
believe there were any hoods actually made without the bracing. The car at 
Mosher's has had the bracing removed.
