Sorry but we did not have your level of expertise about getting things wrong... however somehow we managed to get
the cars patched together

Have a nice day

Given the fact that it was a hi-perf shop, originality was not much of a concern back then...question.....how were the Harrell tags installed on the valve covers ? rivets or taped ?

Actually the metal tags were made by a trophy shop and came
with a strip of double-sided tape on them. We figured out that those would not stay on valve covers very long so a
little 3-m trim cement (the yellow stuff) solved that
problem, On the out side of the body a couple of pop rivets
worked well. The tape ones were not intended to be in either place.

There is a pretty good picture of 5 or 6 of them leaving
the shop on a auto transport over on the DH site. There are a few of them still around.
