Nice resto. The look great.

if you're going to be spending good money on a correct part, why not get them as correct as possible.

Because a lot of times it didn’t come as close to the date of production as what you think

Such as the early '71 Van Nuys TA near here that is a one owner, unrestored car with JW's on one side and KN's on the other, factory built that way.
Build sheet is coded for JW's. If the car was in restored condition, no one would believe that was correct or factory.

No one cared because they are identical in looks. But, today a JW is worth more?

Harold what’s going on with those flares and spoiler on that beautiful 455Ho formula?

I’d believe it.

My 72 T/A had KN's on the ground and a KR as they spare. I've since changed them all to KR's because the build sheet says KR's. I want to put a set of F60X15's on the KN's for show. Maybe that's how it came?

Back in the day, I bought a 72 formula 455 off of the original owner. It had F60x15 Firestones on it also.

Back in the day....I don’t remember anything correctly.
