Photo Request For Mustang Book

Folks, I'm hoping a couple of you can help me out. I'm nearing completion of a book about Mustangs in New Zealand. In it I'm featuring four original racing Mustangs, which include the Fleetwood Motors, PDL I, PDL II, and Sidchrome Mustangs.

I'm also doing a chapter on Bruce Anderson, who began racing Mustangs 30 years ago in 1985.

What I need are current photos of both the Fleetwood Motors, PDL II, and Sidchrome Mustangs (I have plenty of period photos of each), just to show how they look today.

Plus, I also need period and current photos of the Anderson brothers Pinepac Group A Mustangs they raced from 1985 through 1987, plus photos of Bruce's 1969 Mustang which he races in Central Muscle Cars.

These must be your own photos you took yourself, just for copyright reasons.

Oh, and while I'm thinking of it, would anyone have photos of Bruce Ekdahl's green 1965 Mustang fastback that races in Central Muscle Cars, plus Dennis Goble's third generation maroon Mustang that also races in CMC?

Can anyone help?

Steve,
Bruce Anderson and Bruce Ekdahl are both competing at the GP meeting at Manfeild this weekend. I will do my best to get some pics for you but I only have a pocket camera.

I have sent you 3 pages of thumbnails Steve, to the monster address. Couldn't find another email address for you. Hope your inbox isn't full this time! I may have some pics of the Pinepac car too.

PS Yes. It bounced back. 'Over quota'.

Hi everyone, hey thanks so much for the replies. I really appreciate it. I had a couple of people email me most of the required photos within hours of me posting on here! Talk about quick response!

Martin, I have emailed you re the PDL II at the 1986 Wellington Street Race, but haven't heard back from you so maybe I don't have your correct address. Could you please message me at: mailto:?subject=&body=

Folks, can anyone help with photos of Pete Stevensons red '66 Mustang fastback from the 2015 NZFMR? I can only use pics from this event as he recently made visual changes to the car by fitting wider rear wheels and flares.

Also, I still need more pics of the Anderson Brothers Pinepac Group A Mustangs from the 1980s. Bruce Anderson is supposed to send me some pics but I haven't received these yet, so thought I should check to see if anyone here can help.

Thanks again everyone.

Hi everyone, I urgently need help with a photo to complete this book.

Does someone here have a photo of the Sidchrome Mustang, in its current completed restored guise, in high resolution, that they could email through to me either tonight or tomorrow morning? Doesn't matter if its an action shot or sat stationary in this pits. As long as its a good clean shot of the car.

My email address is: mailto:?subject=&body=

Many thanks

Don't know if any of you have seen it but I can thoroughly recommend this site for Mustang photos and info, and everything else.

http://www.mustangracing.com.au/

On the index there's a page for "from across the pond". I think the best page is "General items of interest". Fabulous. The prices for cars will make you cry however.
