    I have know of this car for years. People of those times were much more tolerant of poor workmanship. Today's cars and restorations are so much better.

    1968 ID these fasteners...

    A AMK body hardware kit is very helpful when reassembling a car, They are in marked bags and look new and correct like the car is now. After 50 years some things have been lost and replaced incorrectly.

    The screws are from the gas tank filler neck. The others could be from the back up, park or running lights.

    1968 Neil Hoppe

    Neil was one you could always count on for help and advice. I will miss him greatly. The good thing is the many cars that he built will still be on the road and his memory will live on. He will not be forgotten. Marty

    1968 GT/CS & HCS stripe decal kits? Any favorite vendors?

    The tricky part of the HCS scoop is cutting out the stripe so the HCS decal fit perfectly in it. Jon as you know the original HCS scoop decal was one piece stripe and emblem.
