61 based Limo

[KerryPinkerton <pinkertonk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, I knew someone else would think of that.  John,
you must have been scheming also...

Actually, I THINK there are at least two ways to go. 
One would be to make a new rear piece but longer and
with wider porportions at the rear to keep the taper. 
I'm THINKING this could be done with stainless.

The other would be to create new trim nose to tail out
of aluminum or something and either polish it or have
it chromed.  Should be doable either way, maybe, I
hope.  :)
