RE: Documentation

Royce: I have no reason to doubt that the Mustangs used the hex nuts with star washers, as I've seen photos of at least one of Bob Perkins' cars and others. However, I've never seen any on an original Torino and the road test photos I have for both '70 and '71 all show the standard Ford wing nuts on these cars. I have the MPC with illustrations, so I know what you're referring to there, but as you know, they are not always 100% accurate. Believe me, I'm not trying to be difficult, I would just like to get more definite info from a Torino slant. As I mentioned, my '71 with shaker was very unmolested and had the wing nuts when I bought it. I know that it would have been very easy to install them over the years, but I also think it's possible that by '71, at least, Ford would have realized what a dumb idea it was to use the hex nuts and started using wing nuts instead. Anyhow, thanks for your input. I always enjoy your posts, especially regaring GT-E's. I'm actually a part owner of one. Well, to be precise, I own a part from one, front fender 7.0 Litre emblem my brother pulled out of junkyard here in Delaware probably 20 years ago :-)
