Note the different speaker hole perferation and the area in front of the passenger is cut completely out instead of cut out like a checkerboard? The vents are about a half inch longer at window base, Maybe all of these differences are for better def. function and crash safety??

Ok folks, I need your opinions, We will start shooting some paint in the next couple weeks and I wonder which way I should finish the bottom of the car, The bottom was blasted and primed some time ago so the original finish could not be photographed, I lean toward shooting the bottom totally with the Semi-black but have seen a few original primered shaft tunnels, Is this a product of haste in assembly and seldom seen?? Which would you consider more acceptable?? NOS chambered exhaust? Would you bolt it on or save it for the carand use the reproduction, Rivited sill plates? I don't want to take them out of the packages but save them for the car. I don't want the car to be a piece of furniture,And the thought of a "friend" dragging his or her feet across the sill plates is enough to make you cringe When it's done we will enjoy the car and will most likely take it to the pure stock drags, The motor now has been balanced and got total seal rings. alot of attention to detail, Should run very strong!! I will use the NOS weaterstrip and wiskers and such as the repo just won't do on these cases.. What would you do !! Thanks Carl

You know it Rob, If there is one thing that has sparked a new excitment into the musclecar hobbie for us it is this race, We attended the first and have participated since!!

For those who own a 69 RS car, isn’t the vacuum hose that routes to the headlight switch supposed to have an orange stripe?
