Welcome aboard, IndianaWill! Another Indiana gearhead! I'm in Fort Wayne, though I'm in the process of moving back east soon.

Molorom summed it up pretty well. But if you want your Adventurebilt to look like the hat from a particular scene, just tell Fedora and he'll get it perfect for you! :wink:

I was born in Hammond and grew up in Lake Village. Does that count?

Anyway,

Here's a great example of open crown.
