    Tough 62 Questions

    Hey everybody, I have been out of the loop here for over a year and am getting ready to take my 62 to Des Moines for the regional. I need some help on a few loose ends i have with my car.
    #1 When you look in your door where the window goes, should all the fiberglass you see be black?
    #2 Should valve stem caps be black or chrome?
    #3 I see in the new judging manual that the nuts that attach the grill have free turning washers on them. Are the washers flat style or star(locking) type?
    #4 Has anyone attached the Soft Top cloth latches and snaps? Do they go vertical or horizontal? Do they attach so the finished side shows when attached to itself and the seams show when in use?
    Thanks for you input, hope to get back in to the swing of things again.
    Carl

    Looks like a '61-62 manual opps.....

    On valve stem/caps, I quickly flipped to my latest '61-62 JG book and discovered your confusion. There appears to be NO MENTION of valve stems and cap!!!! Looks like an input to National Team Leader, Dennis Clark, is in order for you....

    From the '58-60 JG book:

    "Valve stems are 1-1/2" long. Valve stem caps are metal in 1958-59. 1960 uses a black plastic cap with "Dill 627" molded into the end circumference."
