Im still waiting on a fender tag,a set of Goodyear polyglass tires and a enclosed trailer. Six hours on the interstate with an open trailer scares me when the car is so freshly restored.  A rock chip would hurt my heart at this point ...  next year I will have those three things for sure and thecar will be there for sure (at Don garlets)...

I bought a 68 charger back in 2006 to do a Daytona clone it had a superbird wing on it..... ill find a pic and post it.( the same clone from the story) in which I took the parts into the guy's yard. ANYWAY ... petty wing you see here came off that car.... figured if Im gonna keep it, ill paint it Petty Blue and get him to sign it.
