I have seen this posted elsewhere and I am sure you have all seen it. As I am getting closer to finishing my car, I reviewed it again and noticed a couple of things I missed before.

It says the original S&H air cleaner should have a wingnut. If this is true, any idea what the wingnut looks like?

It also says the aluminum door opening trim had FOMOCO stamped in the center. Anyone have a FOMOCO stamp I can borrow, if true of course.

Is this getting detailed enough?


Thanks,


Jack

Frankly, it is almost impossible to do. (Depending upon how accurate you really want to get). At some SAAC conventions, they were pulling the dip sticks out of the motors to see the date stamp! The cars were put together with British bolts; the true seat tracks are not available; I could go on and on and on. Truly making a clone is a lot of work and a lot of money.

But, if you are really interested, I'd suggest giving my brother Thomas a call. Not many people know more about the nitty gritty details than he does. BTW, the door sils didn't have FoMoCo on them.
