  1. That would no hair........
  2. just take the correct size of alum tube, polish with 2000 or finer grit I use the metalizers..burnt exhaust and burnt iron, over non buffing alun.
  3. Same source, different page...? customized ? http://www.sportscardigest.com/monterey-auction-report-2010-massive-monterey-money/ 1966 Ford GT40 Mk I ; S/N GT40P/1065; Engine # SGT/27; Ice Blue/Black leather; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $1,500,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $1,650,000 – RHD. Webers, 5-spoke alloy centerlock wheels, Goodyear Blue Streak tires, 6.00-15 front, 7.00-15 rear, four Weber intake. Excellent paint and interior. Freshly restored and better looking than new. It's sacrilegious, but this car has been customized several times in its early history to suit various owners' preferences. Its current livery dates from an unknown restoration but thoughtfully returned it to something close to its original configuration and better than new condition. The 3,183 miles on the odometer may well be real, which is also sacrilegious. It deserves to be driven, if only a little. At this price it can be and is a sound value. – Lot # 054, Gooding & Company, Pebble Beach
  4. See the red comments in my above post.....Its been "customized"!!!

  6. Looks like one of Jairus Watsons drawings of a '26....Michael Curry had his pictured with Jairus in MCM #159...pg 42
  7. They are the stock caps for the car shown....It is 100% except for the mags, cut springs in front, and lowering blocks in the rear.
  8. Both share my thoughts...Born in the early 50's my first real love of cars is the 60's.....I do love a lot of earlier cars for what they are...but not this one. As I did state earlier and as Harry just put it ...its a fantastic kit..I may get one. I suspect after I start seeing more builds it too will grow on me..just like the galaxie '47 chebbie aerosedan..which turned into one of my favorite builds.

  12. OK professor, then why did Adam have the answer right away ? What pray tell is the issue...not spelling or usage...must be an incomplete sentence.
