Re: 1963 silly question
The gradual slope is aft. Tried taking a picture but didn't work. I'll post it anyway. It needs to be rotated.

Tapered edge forward if 63 is the same as the rest of the mid-years.Comment

Re: 1963 silly question
My reply was based on examples of untouched originals and the 1965 Judging Guide. What does the 1963 JG say?Comment

Re: 1963 silly question
"Taper Facing Rearward" I said gradual slope, I guess that means taper.

Re: 1963 silly question
The JG says "taper facing rearward" -- I took that to mean that the side with the more gradual slope faces the split. A bunch of cars I've looked at have it opposite... Pics of my lens and how its positioned; inside and outside the car...Comment

Re: 1963 silly question
That's what I think unless someone knows differently. I'm running through the JG prior to Lakeland and boy the stuff I've had to monkey with.
Sometime I'll tell you the shenanigans I went through to get the cigarette lighter to pop out correctly ?!?!#$Comment

Re: 1963 silly question
Frank,
Mine judged fine at the KC nationals with the slope or taper facing rearward.
