 Too bad the popcorn imoge is gone. Magnums on a '69 Shelby would be a first for me.

popcorn anyone???

    The Magnums were a nice touch I think my favorite was the 1965-66 FRONT sticker applied to the air cleaner.  The re "anodized" (NOT) carb was special too.

I think some Shelbys still have their "original" Magnums on them. Bob?

boss 15'' magnums were used on some 69 shelbys during the 69 shelby wheel recall  glue in vs riveted in centers. and the lugnut machining depth to deep and the 69 shelby lugnuts  were bottoming out on some wheels.

Sorry, Ed, I would of asked you in my post but I thought where you were at you wouldn't be able to answer. 
I knew the answer but thought some wanted the answer from the experts.    . Gary

Generally speaking I dont like cutting up someones car (unless they ask for it) and....

...I was willing to cut them a lot of slack, until I saw red engine bay.   

I have spoken to many AOSmith employees and for people to continually denigrate the work they did is insulting. Gary P owes them an apology for saying " they didnt care what the cars looked like "

Yes the red fender wells were very moparish. The A.O. Smith employees had to do with what was given to them, quality wise and meet their timeline. I believe they did care about quality and they did the best they could with what they had.
