Interesting that the BME Cougars have Magstars on at Tech. but then run Torque Thrusts during the race.

Phillip,
  Great film, thanks for sharing it. Knowing how Bud Moore was, at that point, the Magstars were probably filled with water to make weight (as if that wasn't already a heavy set of wheels..... ::) )

CSX2003 had the same hood latch setup with the spring loaded covers and T handle. Was a pretty unmolested car.

As part of the big Henderson NC show last weekend (approximately 650 cars), a local Ford club had a parking lot in town reserved for their club event. Included were at least six Boss Mustangs, five 68-1/2 Cobra Jet Mustangs, two Shelbys, a 428SCJ Cale Yarborough Special and a bunch of other interesting old Fords.
Lot of folks there from both NC and VA.

Paul,
  The torq-lock slider is the one you are looking for. See this ebay link for an available example:

Not sure which book shows it (I'm not where I can get to my library at the moment), but I've seen photos of R Models under construction or parked outside at Shelby American with unpainted aluminum sail panel covers already installed on the cars. Maybe in the last book about Shelby American that Dave Friedman put out a few years ago. Based on those photos,  I believe the rivets should be painted. Hope this helps.

Yes, I believe they just give gold, silver and bronze awards in each of the classes now (and MCA has a bunch of them)
