If I had to put together a list of the most difficult items for a guy to reproduce on these
cars I would say the lightweight corning glass and acid dipped doors would
be at the top. I have yet to determine if the bumpers were acid dipped or stamped
from a lighter gauge steel. I have talked to owners about this and they said they
were uncertain.
They did omit the outer bumper brackets.
I do know guys who have had their doors dipped so I know it is possible. Not sure if the trunk
lids were done or not. It seems the research is never ending when involved with these projects.
The 4-speeds are another challenge being the red stripe gear sets were special parts and
are are a rare find today.
Firestone drag 500 slicks and fronts can be considered impossible to find but were commonly
used in this class. With as many vintage tires that are reproduced these have been overlooked.
Heater delete parts are few. But radio and door mirror block off plates are being made.
The list goes on but these could be considered a few of the tough spots.
Of course the more money you can feed a super stock build the easier it can progress.
