Since these were on "the History Channel", no doubt they will be re-broadcasted again. I missed most of the Green Hornet one, but saw all of the Lil' Red one. Very informative.
It's no secret that I have been building a Tribute to Lil'Red. Well along the way. I started the conversion about 2014, well before Lil'Red was found. The Mustang I used is a well optioned GTA, so, the Deluxe interior, vinyl roof, automatic trans is already there. And it was built at San Jose about 2 weeks before Lil'Red was.
And, it answered some questions like: what is the color? I saw the regular black Deluxe upholstery. There are some other questions but, since mine is a Tribute, it comes down to "so what?" Wouldn't the deck lid be a custom two off? (for the hard top, and one for the C'vert?) Well, I built them as metal underlined figuring they were early cars. Same way with the hood. I made mine metal underlined, Hours of labor there. But, again, so what, that is the way I wanted it.
And it seems that there willl be some correcting to Lil'Reds history. They showed that the firewall knock-out was still there, so it never would have had any four speed in it.
At least they showed Mr Jackson burning plenty of rubber. So will I.
