Ken, do you know who’s idea it was to put the mid year “knock-offs” on Little Hoss?

When researching the different modifications performed early on during the 1967 season, such as a modified hood scoop, (see 3rd picture dated Aug 67), (4th dated Sept 67 from the Gibb Archives) the addition of the stinger less corvette style hood (during the 1st World Record attempt picture), lift bars, and the addition of knock-off Corvette wheels, it was somewhat of a challenge determining when the wheels were added to the car. I believe the car was repainted red during the December/January timeframe, when the rear spoiler was added, along with fiberglass inner fenders, but only after receiving these photos (1st-3rd) provided by Dennis Cumby, from the Herb Fox archives did I realize the "knock-offs" where added prior to the repaint, sometime probably in late October or early November 1967. I also remember Herb and others telling me they hauled Little Hoss behind the dealership wrecker, which is apparent in the 1st photo. The car had around 5700 miles on the odometer when I purchased it, and Herb Fox told me these miles were mostly placed during street racing during the summer of 1967, as the car was hauled by the wrecker to the tracks.The car otherwise was never driven on the street. He did alot of his street racing in Burlington Iowa, about 25 miles from LaHarpe.
