Sorry to say that I'll actually be taking them off as well - I decided to lower the car and I'll be using shorter straps from brittek. But these are such works of art that I thought they should at least get to go on the car for a little while.
What?! Brittek?! Come on... what straps do they have that I cant make? :D
Now look what you've gone and done Richard! You'll now need to restore your car's undercarriage to match those purtty new straps! :D And, by the way, Rusty can make those staps any size you need.

Ummmm.... Poor quality ones? ;)
Rusty, I'll bet the straps I got from you will outlast my car.

especially in Tidewater Virginia!
Hmmm.... Don't laugh too loud, sadly, Mac. I don't want to hijack the "Rusty Thread" here, but I'll take and post some pics of what I found the hard way. It'll be a "Rusty Thread" of a different sort. :( (Hint: I think I see next winter's project.)

Pretty cool, Rusty! Where there is knowlege, good things happen.
Richard, I've even got the blue straps to match your car!
Uh oh Rick! Sounds like bad news...
Sorry Rusty, I hadn't planned to lower it when I bought the straps from you. Then I just decided I was tired of it sitting so high, so I ordered the kit. Don't feel betrayed - when I enter the "Concours D'Elegance" http://www.pebblebeachconcours.net/ I'll drive over in the ugly straps and then put on yours just to impress the judges.
I've bought 2 sets of short straps from Rusty so far. No, not because I broke one - a friend got jealous and had to have a set as well! They're the pretty blue ones! I have to say its an improvement over the "custom" rubber ones I had on before.
OK OK I get it!!! I'll get Rusty to make me some shorter blue ones!!!!

Heheh... Lucky you've got the Weber. Rusty makes a nice replacement for the SU air filter canisters, too. ;)
(Rusty - 'tain't good news. I found the inevitable rust the hard way - by jacking the car from underneath said rust. Ah, well.... I've about got her dialed in driving-wise, so it's about time for that bit anyway. Mechanical before cosmetic and all that.)
By the time you need the new ones I should have the labels to go on them so everyone know who makes 'em.
