Had a nice addition to the car today. An original USA-1 plate with the cardboard backing. Huge thanks goes out to Kasey, Chris and Nuge. Great friends.

Picked up a set of Cragar GT’s a few months back and a year or so ago I snagged some MT Indy Profile redlines.  This morning I mounted them up and took it for a short drive over to my favorite photo background spot.  Good to get her out as it’s been around 7 months.  I’m pretty happy with the look.

Looks period correct, but definitely different than the Cragar mags. Hard to go wrong with a great car like that. Glad you got to take it out. Are those bias ply?

I just saw your thread, you are very fortunate to have such a beautiful car and in Rally Green even better. On page three reply #40 what is that number and what is that a picture of? Thanks Paul

Thanks.  That is the stamped number for either the body tub or the floor.  Can't remember exactly which.

Thanks guys.  I am really diggin' the new look.

As for the Red Z.  Well its been sllllllllllllloooooooooooooooww.  I took in another small project for a buddy/customer.  I did make a few purchases and some horsetrading over the last year or so.  Got a pair of 15x4 Keystone Kustomags (not to be confused with Keystone Klassics) and a little intake with 2 carbs.

Ran across a vintage photo of the ‘68 that I haven’t seen before.  Photo’d are my parents and my older brother and sister.  Around the fall of ‘68.

Close.  Cragar GT’s were bought because it was a good deal.  Still on the lookout for a good set of Kustomags in 14x6”.

I may know where there are some 14" keystones..  My wife bought a set for a car she had as a kid that migrated to father in laws 65 GTO many years ago & I think they are still around somewhere. Now as to the condition??  :-\ let me do some looking.
