Great summary, but as as owner of one of the 87 1/2 Wolfsburgs, I gotta
disagree with:

>there are no matching rocker panels.  

Maybe they just slipped up for mine,  but there ain't any urethane
covering on the bumpers.  Even the black "rubber strip" on the front is
just paint.  As Uncle Joel said once, the bumpers are just targets.   I
think they make them out of polyester resin reinforced with clay.   I
bet they just took the buck from the car show right into production.
