    How skinny?? I have a pair of Shelby slots in my garage in good shape but no center caps. I'd have to measure them I cant remember how wide they are. :hmmm:

    OK just went through some of those pics and I see what you mean. Where did all those rims end up?? I'd love a full set of those slots. Thats what I had on the first Mav.

    That was a nice find! I had not seen many of them pictures, so it was a real treat. When I get time I will have to copy all of them Mavs and Comets to my computer. Sweet!

    Darren i would like 6" or under and perferibly 15" slots.A set of 15x4's would be perfect. Anyway the Comet you are referring too is the Sandy Elliot/Barrie Poole (Driver) car. It is restored and running.I seen it at Cayuga a few years back with it's 429 CJ under hood.The cool thing is Barrie Poole still races at Cayuga and i have talked to him many time very cool guy with tonnes of storys.Here's a few pics old and new.\
