I'm trying to get it pretty close to concourse. It'll be driven, but it'll be the only car I own that's super correct, so it be cool to have.

Are the reproduction ones super obvious they're not original? I've only just started looking at them. I'm still a ways off from needing one, but getting closer every day!

I think there is a newer version out there where the stamping looks really good but the rivet isn't exact. Maybe it's the inline tube version. You can find restorable caps at swap meets and sometimes for only a few dollars.
