Re: [Amc-list] Stupid question of the day

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

The very early stainless shades actually required two or three little holes be drilled and tiny little screws up into the door frames!  
   They were a beyotch to do. I remember being a kid watching my dad install those buggers and cursing because he had broken yet another 1/16" drill bit.  I learned all my best phrases there watching that.

I'd be real surprised if those are around though!
I would not doubt those particular shades were bought from the cheapest third party vendor they could find, knowing dealer and rambler mentality of the day!  You could tell if you have those. They had a little dimples where the screws went.
