Old user M3 + NOS M2 shell = instant (partial) cosmetic
upgrade?  In particular, one of the strap lugs on the M3
shell is bent out of shape.  (That shell is in fact not the
original shell, it was spliced on years ago by DAG to do a
PV upgrade on this 1955 M3.)

Actually, 'buy' might be the wrong word, at least at this
point in time...I've had the M2 shell for 15 or 20 years. 
Wondering if I can find a use for it!

John
