Yeah just a crying shame what happened. He was a good man. Prayers to Londa and rest of family

Great guy.   Bought several parts many years ago from him.   What happened?   
Prayers to his family.   

Agree Bob.  Just tough to get to that level anymore.   Why im selling my 2 "almost" cars and giving it up.   Just too many people who dont play by the rules.  I cant honestly show a D1 car without owning the parts.  Love to get there but if I dont own my car and parts its just fake.

Funny.   Maybe its time we get rid of d1 and just have one class.  Seems everyone lately in D1 has borrowed parts from past D1 cars. 

When i see 5 tires being wheeled in on a show field by not the owner its "borrowed". After the car is in place.

Agree.  Why as SAAC judges are we overlooking borrowed parts. Its just not fair to everyone else who has played by the rules and spent $$$$ to obtain honestly the parts they need.

True.  Its a flawed system so every "award" needs further investigation.   I can get a D1 premier award but without the parts I own.  I.E. Craig Jacksons car with not his owned tires or other parts.

Rules need changed.  When you cant 'buy' the part somethings wrong.   As a recent judge having  original tires and wheels from another owner "borrowed" to a car pisses me off.   If the owner of the car being judged does not own the parts to his/her car its wrong. 

I.E. Craig Jacksons 65 shelby 🙄

True.   Only cars that seem to do it "borrow" parts. Which doesnt seem right.   

Just to throw this out there.    Since these batteries and tires are so hard to come by will there ever be another t-bred or premier 67?

Good info.  The 22 was used on most 66 shelbys with yellow caps as well as 67 gt350's?

Ok.  Just to clarify.   The 24 was the larger battery and not the smaller 22 that was assembly line on standard mustangs 65-67. 

Thanks Bob.  I was under the assuption it would take the larger battery with red caps since it had A/C.

Thanks guys.  It was a fastastic work by many including Shelby Parts, R&A Motorsport, Kuyoth for paint, etc...     If it doesnt sell would like to try t-bred but missing the battery and 4 tires.  Any leads appreciated.
