Thanks...I thought I'd get beat out by the Gray 72..but he did not open his hood,and I think that hurt his chances,as he took 2nd place...

The "key chain" is in my 78....

Mine was a frame off restoration in Wisconsin 13 years ago...the original PO there did a great job...have detailed pics/receipts for everything..the second PO installed the 502 in 1999...only 20,000 on the engine..hauls buns..
Your 72 vert looks really great....
