If it's been trimmed off it's been done well. There's a lip all the way around, except for 1 corner that does look trimmed. No jagged edges but I guess they could have been ground smooth. What do you guys think, regular A12 base or something else? thanks, Dave 7762145-IMGP0290(1024x768).jpg (163 downloads)

Even the top lid was the A12 style. 56 Plaza 63 D100 step side 67 Coronet, 68 Roadrunner, 69 Super Bees, 69 Coronet 500 convertible, 70 Roadrunner Post, 79 D150 360, and a severe case of Mopar a,d,d

the top of the base [Re: A12] #1461443 07/02/13 12:36 AM 07/02/13 12:36 AM

We've seen worse centers and someone good with sheetmetal re-make the outer with no problem. The lid is in great shape and worth what the buyer paid for it. A repo of the tray is $1500 min... An even better deal is if you now have an original with a bad center and you just bought it
