Pretty baby.

The real ones never looked that good until they were restored many years after last turning a wheel in battle.

Are the seat ventilator rings PE or paint?

Thank you fer yer comment, all of the seat ventilators are hand painted.

Gorgeous job on that black paint, well done.

To make your build more accurate and unique, so many other builds are missing the New Zealand Silver Fern on the right fender.

And the wheels...

I have been fascinated by the wheels and tires on the 1:1 winner.  The #2 car started the race on Firestones (Amon and McLaren were contracted to Firestone) and finished on Goodyears and the color of the wheels varied as well.  The reason was rain.  I have read that Shelby decided that Goodyear had a better rain tire and had the #2 switched over to the Goodyear rain tires during the race.
