Bolt on Wheels Screwdriver
The NCRS Information Manual for 1967 mentions that bolt on wheels came with a 10.5 inch screwdriver which should be stored in the jack box. Does anyone have a picture or source for this?

Picture is below, and there's no source. Irwin Tool Co. made the originals, and only made 720 of them. LICS used to make a reproduction, but that was years ago; those repros have gone recently on eBay for upwards of $500.00, can't imagine what a real one might bring.

About 20-25 years ago, Roby Price in Houston found a stock of NOS handles. He had shafts installed and gave them out to his 67 corvette friends.

Yes.
I toyed with reproducing them a couple of years ago, but nobody in the U.S. makes wood-handled screwdrivers any more. I found three outfits in China that would make exact duplicates, but their minimum quantities were WAY beyond the volume I could ever sell.

Nabor bros did A 67 BB for him every year, he would show it and sell and do another.
Then the last year he was doing Whizzer motor bikes,he said there was satisfaction every month when one was done, not each year.
Roby was A true gentleman and gave A lot to the to the Corvette hobby
