Hello there.

Glad you got the account figured out.

Maybe the admin (Steve?) could revise your username for you, another version of Frank The Crank lol.

Those wheels look pretty dark to be the body color of LeMans blue, much darker than the body in those pictures. (see below)

As far as the stripe color, the chart in this link below from Camaro.net, half way down the page shows the 68 car colors and stripe colors. LeMans Blue calls for white stripes. The only foot note below that chart concerning black stripe color says...

"1968: Matador Red have Black stripe with Black vinyl/convertible top."

Also,a little ways below that it says...

SPECIAL PAINT DESIGNATION

"In 1968-69, either deletion of a stripe or use of a non-standard stripe color was also considered to be special paint."


I'm not sure why else the cowl tag would have the special paint "-" mark instead of the "U".
I'm not sure what else would be considered special paint on that car.

Thanks John,...yes, the other Frank the Crank seems to have never posted here. But, I'm good with FTC.

A few more from the early days with minimal decals.

More with the Grumpy lump and more decals. Low 11s,..not bad for 1972 E/Modified Production class.

In the pits..

Ever wonder what's under that scoop? This picture and many others,...if the car was painted white, you'd think Jenkins might have owned it...lol

I think those are Cragar Supertricks on the front instead of Centerlines. Looks like an old Jomar - Moroso stud girdle. So what is in the car now?
