Another competition coupe build

[Stroked65Coupe]

I designed the covers and had a local shop I work with make them. I plan on having them available for sale at some point.

I am in Butler, so we are close. I have a tight work schedule but plan on being there that Friday.

Cool, I'll keep an eye out for your car.

Let me know when you have a pair for sale. Thanks.

Yes I'd be interested in a pair as well, are they aluminum or stainless?

[Stroked65Coupe]

They are mirror finish stainless steel.

I will let you know when I have them available. image.jpg

Got the car to it's first show at Pocono Race track today. Won first in class and better yet got to hang out with Pete Brock. Great guy. He even sighed my dash.

Went today to get the coupe final inspected at the state inspection facility. Everything went well except they failed the car for no DOT marks on the tail lights and front marker lights. They read me the law and I looked it up. It is a federal law (all 50 states) that all lights carry the DOT approval. The lights supplied by FFR do not meet this requirement and technically can not be used in the United States on the road. Anyway, I am screwed until I can find DOT replacements.

FFR should specify the lights are for off road use only. They are not street legal.

Any one found replacements that don't require modification to the body?

Check my type 65 build thread. My taillights came from Rodworx. Call them and see if they are DOT legal.

I will give them a call. Do you know what the part number or description of the lights you got. They look great.

Check post 97 on my thread. It gives part# and website.

[Stroked65Coupe]

Got the number. Thanks
Crazy day at work today so I will give them a call tomorrow to confirm the lens has DOT on it. The description states they are DOT.

Thanks again

What did you do for front turn signals?

Read the posts. I used a headlight/turn signal/parking light combo from them as well.

Found some real nice drop in LED turn signal lights for the front and got creative in the back.

Got through the final state inspection.

Now waiting for them to send me my title. And then it will be off to motor vehicle one more time to get my registration.

[Stroked65Coupe]

Finally got the title. Went to motor vehicle and got my plates. What a blast to drive.

Congratulations!!! Enjoy!

The engine I have in the car is a 1966 HIPO from an original 1966 GT350 so when I finally got done with the state inspections they gave me a notorized document that state the car needs to be inspected to 1966 emission standards.

So I get to the inspection station yesterday one more time to get my final inspection to get my window sticker, give them the paperwork. They scratch their heads for a minute and say "this is a new car ( the registration is 2015) here is your 5 year sticker. Have a nice day".
