4.33-mm is 0.17-in...not that it matters.  Not 0.0524-in.  Again, not that it matters.

I invite anyone to check my work.

Your length conversion is wrong.

Scott

Oops, the previous photo if the prototype.  Here's the ones with wrinkles like the origjnals.

Scott

Hey Folks,

A friend of mine needed a couple of the small stamped cover plates so I made them.  I think Branda had some that were fiberglass and they are out of them with no plan to have them in the future.  Tim and Pete said my prototype didn't have the wrinkles as prevalent as the originals so I made them with the wrinkles.

Sorry Pat.  I put one too many "Rs" above.

Hey Pat,

I'll take those.  Let me know how you want to get paid.

Just email me or call.

Just make sure the inlet and outlet pipe distance is the same as stock or you'll be modifying the tailpipes too.  And some aftermarket mufflers are too "thick" and don't have the proper room between the tank and rear end.

Just sent in my sponsorship money.  Proud to be one of the yearly contributors.

Kenn's car is currently being restored.

Any thought of driving it home vanished when I weighed the risk vs reward of breaking down somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Scott

I'm not sure I'll put a car on it.  Probably just use it to go get coffee.

Another...

Big project...

I was never able to find concrete evidence that any of the originals survived.  I wish I had access to an original to take measurements from.  And I am not aware of any blueprints.  Heard they existed but never was able to find anyone that could show me a single blueprint.   So, I scaled mine from original photos the best I could.

Lu Chanes (California) already built the perfect 1969 Ford Drag Hauler replica.  Mine is just a poor man's attempt at something close to what the originals looked like.

The one I referenced was found south of Detroit and a guy north of Detroit was able to see what it was by the old lettering that could be found on it and bought it. The top of the back was cut off and it was in rough shape. I did a google search and a "Mustangs and Fords" article as "rare finds" mentioned a hauler found but the link didn't exist anymore. One of the writers for M&F said the other day on FB(Mark Houlahan)that Motor trend was breaking all links so articles could no longer be found. They were moved to a new motor trend hot rod site. So I assumed 2 existed but now the restored one is a clone?

Randy, the supposed found truck is up  in John's neck of the woods so to speak. Next time I see John I'll ask him about them. Gary

Well, still haven't seen any concrete evidence that an original one exists.  Have heard stories, but nothing real.  Ford made more than two of them.  Other colors than blue or white.  Slight differences but all very similar.
