Ha! No....not yet. But their will be soon!

That "Little Pieces" is a replica of what Max Balchowski wrote on tape and then struck on the tach so McQueen knew where to keep the needle away from or else there would be "little pieces" all over the set! the Hero Car has the residue on there still. I found some NOS masking tape and a "survivor" Bic pen from 1968 to replicate this exact feature! But the tape was one big ball of glue, and the pen was all dried up, so I just used new stuff instead.

More to come....but not much more since it is just about done! But I at least have to have some more driving footage....maybe even an interview/drive-a-long and in-car camera footage with a well known celebrity! Who will that be? Oh.....details soon.

Cheers
Dave

PS: please PM me for ideas and leads with car celebrities since I really don't know any
