Re: Show Me your NFL stuff
Great photos of the Lions/Rawlings helmets! Is the photo of player # 28 a clear shell ?
In regards to the rivets on the clear shells the Rawlings CSH had no rivets (only screws) so it was perfect for restoration while the Macs and Kelleys have not been re-riveted.
In the Macs/Kelleys the suspension part is held in place by the front and rear pads and the rivets are glued to the helmet's outside shell. I am still debating having them done but as you probably know the Mac/Kelley rivets are about a 1/16 larger in diameter than the Riddell rivets.
That is not the green ridge I was going to use but that looks great, is it from ebay? I was watching the 49ers Ridge on ebay as well : )
Finally, here is a photo of the Bears / Wilson F2000 clear shell I restored.
