Great little video here https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=...87547434059264
The ONLY way I have figured out to get a FB URL link to work on our site is to do exactly what I just did....QUOTE the post containing the FB URL link. The URL link will then be rendered correctly.

Track packs, either dealer installed or owner installed, were only the battery relocation gear, the cam and lifters, and the OAI shroud system, so a track pack car should not have the stuff listed above.

He his my adopted son and has done 2 of the 54 factory 66 W 30 cars. He did the # 10 white car pictured and the #27 car. He is the premier restorer of 66 442/W30 cars.

It's my understanding that the 66 and 67 W-30 factory cars got chromed valve covers and chromed oil cap. 67's got red fenderwells. I do not know if the earliest 67s still had black metal fenderwells. 67s also had the 67 442 valve cover info sticker on the port side valve cover like a normal 67 442; I think they had the official ten horsepower more number in the HP category. I think 69 H/Os also got chromed valve covers stock.

I see a lot of nice 66 and 67 cars that the hood trim on the front edge does not line up with the trim above the head lights. The problem looks to me like some hoods curve down too much or up too much. How do you address this when restoring one? I see the car in the video trim looks perfect.

Pre-fit everything
Bend, cut , weld to whatever fitment and gap that you want
These cars fit like crap when new . I have a 66 4door car with 50k original miles and original paint and the fit of the panels and trim is horrible, but they were just building cars not show cars
