This car has 427 Center Oiler, 0.017 over. As I understand in the car since at least 2013, prior to that in California.
Forged Pistons
Erson Hydraulic cam/lifters/rockers
Edelbrock heads
Port match Sidwinder

The car you remember may have been the other red HT car, now Kevin's, which has had a re-body and a motor change since then.

You did the same thing I did with the safety wire around the wheel. I don't know what you used but I stripped the insulation off a piece black wire from a chunk of 14ga romex cable (house wiring).

Jeff,
Nice colour on the wheels.
Is that a satin dark grey? Any more detail on the paint colour? (I'm thinking ahead).
Cheers!
Glen

Think the wheels are flat black powder coat. Craig may know as this was done pre-Bill.
My plan, CRAZY!
Going to sand blast the face of the wheels and make the centers gold so the earlier race car comes out.
Here is an example CSX3028, this is the look I will chase...
On my Gold car the wheels are oiled Magnesium so brake dust, oil and oxidation in color.

They did use the black in the earlier cars, at some point the chrome showed up but early blk.
The decal is not a sticker, it's a water decal style which was like the old model kits we had when we were a kids.
Very delicate!
I have a local decal maker that may be making these things by the dozen.
This unit is original on my car, small blemish but original.
