Thanks for the help. If I made it a bit too small I can give it another go, I think I've figured out how to do it right.

James, if I recall correctly, Motion offered a "Maco" shark and a gentleman named Silva marketed a "Mako" shark (I may have it backwards).

------You are correct, Z15, John Silva up in Boston developed the Maco package and Motion put it to good use. I went to Johns shop back in the day more than once. It wasnt the cleanest place I ever visited, but Corvette body shops rarely are. Dont know if John is still around or not. I have often wondered if JR sent the Vettes to John for the work or if a local guy in the New York area did the work. Maybe John did the 1st one??? Then Motion took it from there??? Anybody know???........Bill S

That car sounds like the one that is owned by John Shaw now...

David, thanks for those links. Required reading for all.
The ad below clearly maintains the SILVA/Motion connection
