Thanks to you both.

Ron, your red car looks great and it's nice to see it get some press. I'd like to see your cars in person someday. You always do a nice job on them.

Those are lights used to illuminate the number, fun idea considering it ran Paul Revere/Daytona.



Jon, I know it wouldn't be correct, but have you considered running Daisy's on it? Man that'd look awesome.

The 200-S Daisy mags are nice but I'll stick with what it originally ran.

Ron, I'll drive your truck and trailer for you next year. Everything will be fine.  :)

(yes, the chrome things are lights to illuminate the numbers for night racing)

sweet die cast and loved reading the article in the Muscle Car Review. Awesome restoration. Really like the details the were used only on the endurance setups, like the light for the number, over a typical trans am setup.

The 50th anniversary of my Z-28 is today. I'm sure glad I got it done in time.



My Yenko Z-28 engine from the Bud Gates Trans-Am car will turn 50 tomorrow.  Well, actually the car would be 50 but the engine was built 12-20-66.



I sent the original owner, Hugh Heishman, one of these, which he really enjoyed.
