Hey guys, first post. I'm not new to the hobby, but I have yet to actually finish a car... Soon, very soon, that will change. I am building a 1968 Mustang 428 CJ. you know, the car that took the 1968 (?) Winternationals by suprise. I found an old magazine ad of the car as it was offered from the factory, with Wimbledon White paint and steelies with poverty hubcaps. I have decided to build it this way as opposed to the full drag versions that are famously photographed. Can anyone give me a manufacturer/website for someone who has a late 60's Ford poverty hubcap?? I think i can use the steelies from the 64 T-Bolt, and the engine from the 69 Shelby 500. But i need the hubcaps... I was checking out the new R-M Falcon or fairlane, i dont remember, and thought those hubcaps would suffice, but i dont think they're correct enough to pull it off. Perhaps if i get too involved (like i always do. Hence the reason i havent finished anything) I can scrap the engine/trans and make it a "barn find". But if anyone has any information on the hubcaps, as well as a direction where i can look to find exactly how they came from the factory, interior deletions/additions, etc. OH, also, any info on if there is a hood scoop I can get to match, if not i can make one out of sheet styrene. Thanks guys for the long read. I'm really excited to get pictures of this thing on here
