Yes ! thank you, you are exactly correct, my fingers now type faster than my brain. Sure , why waste caps on those cars when the owner was going to put on mag wheels and Mickey Thompsons ? LOL ! May I borrow your eraser ?
I think it's a matter of personal preference plus the type of car. In you case here, that look is great on that beautiful car.
I’ve had that happen, never going to cruise night at boo rays in Hudson oaks. Not only is the road construction and traffic terrible that way, but every flipping week I went I was in my 78 lil red , They would stand at the left corner take a picture of all the cars to the left. They’d stand at the right corner , all the cars to the right, completely excluding it. Thought ok they don’t understand what they are looking at and don’t care. Until I took my GTX , this was before the roof was painted , the lady took a picture of every car out there, except mine, said WTH , so I talked to them , they straight up told me cars weren’t picture worthy
I’m about as hardcore OE as it gets having gazed at my ‘69 when it was new, but your GTX is as cool as anything out there. That’s my opinion, and I’m sticking to it.I’ve had that happen, never going to cruise night at boo rays in Hudson oaks.

Mine are kinda ratty drivers, and the GTX is definitely not a numbers “oe” restoration, they’ll never see a magazine, calendar, heck not even a car show website or facebook page …..unless….i guess they’re getting whitewalls !!!
My car was in a magazine and that proves nothing. Your car is spot on as far as I'm concerned and the way I would have built it and have several times. All I can say is screw them. Be proud!!!
I've been critical of you before, but I give credit, where credit is due. I never thought you were being jealous and I stand by what I said. Your car is extremely well rounded and the black stripe on back and the rest of it straight and uncluttered on those wheels and tires is sinister looking, in my opinion
I love (almost) all of it!
I'm keeping the ww tires. The original is still on the right rear (it was the spare on this 426 4sp). The car as purchased had vintage 1968 Goodyear Polyglas G70-14 white walls. I came up with 2 nos ones to match the 2 fronts. They just look right with the factory spinner hub caps.
It’s legit!DDDS............ dork dish derangement syndrome
