Thanks Roland! I have about six episodes of the program on tape (I
happened to discover it one day while "surfing" -- unfortunately the
series was already half over). I was doing body & paint work on the
Europa at the time, and while some of the techniques demonstrated didn't
apply to fiberglass, a lot of the information came in handy. I'll have
to squirrel the address away for when I start to work on the Plymouth -- I
think the $80 might be a worthwhile investment!
