Thanks.  Here are a couple still shots from when I took the video this past Saturday.

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.

I like the "new" look👍

How's the red 68 coming?

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.

Some reason photo disappeared.  Adding it back.

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.

Looks like you and your dad have the same taste. same tires, similar style wheel as previous pic. cool.

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

Daytona Yellow 69 Z/28

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.
