It's been a year so I thought I'd provide an update on the Petty tribute build. Completed the rear deck mini spoiler, relocated the fuel filler to the correct location, acquired a period correct Moody-Holman fuel cell and filler and installed it into the spare tire well, found a NOS period correct LeMans NASCAR single 4bbl carb so I switched away from the dual quads to the correct single 4bbl, located a number of parts from a former 426 hemi racing garage in the Ohio area including the Cotton Owens long tube headers and got the 10" rubber tucked into the flared rear quarter panels. This was a bit of great work by Matt at Classics of Santa Cruz. There is no metal cut nor added to the outside fenders and no tubbing. He cut the wheel wells and inserted triangles front and rear inside the wheel well, then filled the 2" gap from the fender "bulge" with a hoop within the wheel well itself. Total old school and the way they did it in '67. Final picture is the car on the rotisserieon it's way to body and paint.
