I've got centre caps just didnt want them to go walkabout at the panel shop! Got the car back today it looks awesome... Just having issues with the rear windows not wanting to move up or down... Unfortunately one of them is locked down, otherwise I'd be out cruising tonight. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
