Top Hats

[Don Bradner]

The stainless is fine. All of my chrome nut covers, front hub caps, and top hats
were rusty, so I replaced everything. Did the nut covers in the spring of '08,
and the rest that summer when I passed through Iowa. Since then I lost one hub
cap and a couple of covers - bought two caps and 10 nut covers so plenty of
spares with me.
