Decided to go for it. Tipped the guy $50 to get them perfect... and he did! I have to say, it's a nice small detail.

Great- thank you guys!

I'm about to mount Blue Dots on my '65. Does it matter where the actual dot is aligned with the valve stem? I've heard the dot needs to be directly above the valve stem because it was a "quick and easy indicator for race teams to locate the valve stem." That sounds a little bit over the top to me. Thanks!

I did call the track and they told me all camping/RV arrangements are up to the club since it's a full-track rental. My main concern is just making sure that if agreeable overnight RV parking is not available, I still have time to book rooms at the Embassy Suites. Thanks! -Ryan

I will do that- thanks! Hoping to have her done and back on the road by Christmas. 

R.R.- it's the same 2-1/2" decal. I have tons of them, but they are all brand new. I was hoping to find one with some real age to it: faded, yellowed, possibly worn, etc. Thanks!

This cool old SAAC decal has been riding around on the bumper of 5S501 for decades- probably since the late '70s. Unfortunately, while it was in the shop for some minor paint fixes, a guy badly scratched the bumper and now it needs to be re-chromed.

I am hoping to find another vintage sticker with lots of patina -OR- a sticker from SAAC-9 in Anaheim. According to the Registry, 5S501 "won the concourse" in 1984. Thanks for any help, guys!

Hello,

Does anyone know yet if RV Parking and also overnight motorhome camping will be allowed in the paddock area at SAAC 50? Is that a track decision or a SAAC decision?

Thanks!

My dad is searching for a correct radiator for 5S501. It's my understanding that would be a C4ZE-G2. Thanks for any leads!

Can anyone identify the upper signature? Al Dowd is the lower. I have two SAI checks with from late 1966 when '67 production began with this same signature. Would love to know who it is. Thanks!

Thanks, guys!

Looking at a possible '65 purchase. Are there any known street cars that were produced with a cast iron T-10 housing? Page 229 of the 2011 Registry says the R-Models could have had either aluminum or cast, but from what I'm seeing it appears the street cars only had aluminum. Thanks!

I have a "Long Tab" 1967 wheel in good condition on #0083 that I'm hoping to trade for a correct "Short Tab" wheel with someone who has the opposite problem. It has an older crack that is visible, but the wheel has been professionally restored (see pics). I'm willing to pay to upgrade if your Short Tab wheel is in better condition. The bag of Cheetos in the fourth pic is NOT included with the trade. Thanks!

Thanks- I sent it to him! I wasn't even aware of that site.

Thanks, Dave, we are all super excited!!!
