Cowl tag is original and also indicates paint as "SPEC".This car project started over 13 years ago with the find of a ORIGINAL 5" air cleaner at a Fuel Injection repair and parts service in the Los Angeles area. A friend of over 40 years put me on to i, since he already had one, and also has a original front and rear suspension from a Black Widow car that he traded for in the 70"s . He also allowed the reproduction of the front hubs at a certified C&C machine service ( they are not truck hubs!) and the loan of the suspension to recreate this car.
