They look like a bunch of '' white firewalls,3.70 3rd member 029.JPG white firewalls,3.70 3rd member 030.JPG white firewalls,3.70 3rd member 031.JPG white firewalls,3.70 3rd member 032.JPG barn finds'' now.

    Time to wake this thread up. What era did this start to become popular? What about checker board and stripes?
