Curious, what will you do with it now?
For the time being it is going to be a gigantic paperweight until later this summer/fall when we will be taking it to several shows. Two classic car museums have requested it for their displays so we are looking into that as well. I don't have room in the shop, at the house or in our warehouse so that has become an issue. Anyone want to keep it at their house?

Finally locating a correct set of second design trim rings. Both sets of originals that we had located were reconditioned and because the steel bands were not crimped properly they twisted the bands not allowing all 4 of the clips to hold the outer lip of the wheel. Even the two that were clipped on would fall off just by blinking your eye so they would never have stayed on the wheels when in motion. The NOS 3rd design rings that were donated to us would not fit the wheels for some odd reason so they were returned. However, the center caps were retained and are on the car.

Worked in between a lot of severe storms last night trying to get the right lighting and shots using multiple locations as well as a couple of motion shots all in about 2 hours time. The background will not be seen in some of the shots but Steve needed a large parking lot to get the right shots. Thanks to Steve Temple of Muscle Car Review for working with us and Annie for helping with the lighting.
