Vin # My vin is 8R01J139212 build date2/09/68 one of the early ones.

That's actually Castaic but close! Yours is nice as well. My favorite color. I'm not happy to see it go but don't want to see it start rusting in Oregon. Bruce

I'm going to have to sell my California Special because we are moving and will have no place to store it out of the weather. This is a driver but has won many trophies. Bruce

Stripes appear to be incorrect around front wheel opening but otherwise nice. Bruce

I have #161 Bruce

Marti report says it's supposed to be Gulf Stream Aqua. Early build . Looks like it could be a sister car to mine except it's a C code. Bruce

Wonder if it still looks that good? The pix are dated 3 years ago. Bruce

I would try sending your old wheel to Koch's and have it restored. They did a VW steering wheel for me and it was perfect. They do all makes and will color match so it's right. http://www.kochs.com/ Bruce

A 7 year resto and they put the "Running Horse" emblem on the front fenders and black edged tail lights? Bruce

My VIN is #8R01J139212 and was built Feb. 9 and I know there are a number built before mine. Bruce

Mike Sorry I didn't complete my VIN # for the registry It's 8R01J139212 Bruce Carey

Think they were trying to say Shelby hood locks? There is no SS trim on the rain gutters. The fog lights appear to be mounted too far away from the side grill opening and the Marchal mounts aren't there. Where's the Marti if they put this much effort into "restoring" it spend the extra $$'s and...

Rich, don't know if you're running a Flaming River rack and pinion box also but I've found the smaller diameter wheels tend to take a little more muscle than stock diameter wheels. Just my 2 cents worth. Bruce

If you go back to the Marchals (expensive) you will have to deal with the Lucas mounting holes in your grill surround. Bruce

Good news, I got mine today. Bad news! I am now listed as Coleen Carey the owner of J139212. Oh well at least I now who I am. Bruce (Coleen) Carey

Thanks for the update Tim! Maybe you could loan them a GPS in case they can't find Saugus from there. I know it will get here eventually because all the other updates from Paul found their way here! Bruce

Well I'm still waiting for mine and I only live 300 miles south of Danville. Run out to the mail box everyday. Guess it's coming by Pony Express. Could have driven up there and back in one day. Oh well. Bruce

The company I used had tanks big enough to take a 40 Ford coupe body from the firewall back. This was about 6 years ago so don't know if the chemicals they used are still allowed in California or other states. I thought it was a caustic soda bath of some sort. Bruce

Cory I had the body parts from a '46 Ford woodie I was restoring chemically dipped for about $350. This took off paint and rust but no metal. The final rinse was a phosphate dip which left a rust preventative coating. I had no issues rust for at least 6 months. The only thing it didn't remove...
