He also was the team manager for the Mid Ohio cars (my silver one). He worked for Special Vehicle Operations during this time period. He has some good racing stories. I met him through another friend who works for Jack Roush Jr's road racing operation.
    That is neat stuff... you are relentless when it comes to this stuff!

    Really turned out great... especially considering what you started with!

    What version of graphics are you going with?

    I like that version best... in the Road Atlanta race they included the "Ann Arbor, MI" under VARSITY FORD on the rear quarters. I am sure there is some story behind the two schemes.

    Kendal Don't you love restoring race cars where you don't have to use up a set of NOS side moldings? ! Mark

    If you make it match the Varsity Ford pic above, you will have to leave off the trim piece behind the rear wheel, but apply some adhesive tape residue

    After recreating the stickers for the Mac Tools "giveaway" car (looking at yours) I will do a rerun in white for you of the ones that are on both cars.

    P.S. I have the SCCA sticker done already !
