Also,maybe it’s the photo,but,those are the best hubcaps I have ever seen,straight up bitchin!!!

Would you believe those are extremely early takeoff wheel covers.  Those came out of San Francisco after I had purchased a set of NOS.  When it came down to selecting-- the originals won!

congrats DON  (that 68 shelby guy)  i used to call him since i have been seeing him last 30 years or so at all swap meets because he used to wear signs on his back wanting 68 parts  :)   It takes years of looking & collecting to find all the correct original parts for a concours restoration .

You can still call me that, Ed; anytime.  By the way, way back in the early 2000's when I attended a SAAC convention at Ontario Speedway, I was wearing my sign and Jay Leno smiles and says  "Ah yes, parts the old fashioned way."  It worked for me many times.

and a lot of patients to make it happen.
To be specific no one entered the hospital during the restoration although I did ask Lee to keep a De Fib machine close during judging
