Dave,when you're all done with the wheels,make sure you have the correct valve caps.
We used the "rarer" Schraeder caps with the "wing tip" cap top design. There were more than one vendor when it came to these small items.

Not bashing...just asking
My question is: Do you have "before" shots of each side showing totally different and more complicated patterens?
If our patterns are incorrect, the factory is to blame! We matched what was originally on this car. Again, we have documented ALL aspects pertaining to the car and documented it throughout the entire process. We did our very best to put every characteristic back just the way we found it. Just as reminder (for those who want to bring their millimeter ruler to check our over sprays, etc...) it was TREMENDOUSLY difficult to match spray patterns exactly the way some guy did it 40 years ago. I believe we were at least 95% precise with what we tried to emulate and copy.
As requested Alan here are the results of that particular goal with regards to the undercoat patterns:

Will this car be displayed Friday and Sat. at the nats or just while being judged? Do you know what time it will be judged? I want to make sure I get to see this one in the flesh and dont want to miss my chance. Incredible job on this car, by 8MP camera will be getting a work-out on this car :-)
It will be displayed all day Saturday at the OE tent. It will be judged during that time. I hope to meet you and see you there! Thanks.

Dave...That's exactly what I was requesting THANK YOU..... Up here in the "rust belt" I don't get to see many original examples that have survived. Your side by side shots are tremendous and will certainly be an asset for future projects. I can't believe that the patterens differ so much from side to side... Again....Thank you for taking the time to put together the photos.
