When you are in, the album with the "Motor Wheel Spyder" mags in it is called "1969 AMX".

So far, finding the original lug nuts was the most difficult part of the entire restoration. This was not a requirement because other lugs can be used or ET-Style short-shank lugs slightly shaved down by 1/16 of an inch so they do not bottom out on the drums/rotors.

Once I had seen the original bullet lug nuts, over 10 years was spent buying them one at a time. When I had 16 originals and I was 4 lug nuts shy of a full set, I found 4 Locking lug nuts that were ET-Style, shaved some length off of them, and considered it finished.

Had I to do it over again, I would have used some ET-Style short-shank lug nuts, shaved them down, and used Bullet Lug Nut covers on them. It would not have been original but it would have been very attractive.
