That photo still shows a VK mirror, you can even see the line where it's joined

The Brock car the white decal on the windscreen, the Harvey car had black and the VH mirror

If you guys are bored see if all the window markings are the same, i know the PC car had had a few windows replaced thou.

[Balfizar]

i think the back of this mirror is flat

I think I see curving of the outer upper and lower front edge of the mirror

I think I see a flat top edge and well defined top step

all classis VH rear vision atributes

I do not see the diagonal ridge that joins the outer upper corner to the Joint line

I also see the line/joint that you are talking about,  but it extends out to more than 1/2 the length of the mirror and is

not of the right angle, I do not see this as the joint in a VK mirror

if there was a better photo there would be no need for speculation or interpretation

Does this add any more fuel to this fire, these were taken in the museum when i went to the Great Race in 2009.

You really started something Craig you Mexican.

I know mate, still like the photo in my first post though. How cool would it been to go flat out round silverstone in a HDT commodore.

You're flogging that dead horse quite hard.....he ain't gonna win the cup no matter how hard you do.
I'm also impressed by your selective response to comments, ignoring those you can't argue.

Goodbye.

you cant possible compare the colours in the paintwork from that montage Balfizar put up,

 

different light, different cameras, different white balance settings etc etc.

 

Or am I missing some other difference in them

The montage is supposed to show the marked (at least I can see it) difference between paint :- (guard to bonnet to flare)

taken by many different cameras, taken in many different lighting environments (indoor/outdoor) and taken with many different

camera settings, but I think consistently showing a difference.  A difference that the investigation could neither see,measure or acknowledge.

Some people know there is overspray on the front doors

Some people know there is overspray on the rear door stricker bolt

Some people know that the front guard had to be resprayed to have the "castrol" removed

and some people can see that the Marlboro across both doors had to have been redone.

The fact is the car has had little touch ups while it's been in the museum. Someone broke the front spoiler for starters and I believe they use the TAFE to fix it so the quality won't be there.

The investigation was to prove that areas like the roof and the damage on the rear quarter had not been changed.

Anyway, Chassis number 6 was brocks car, straight from the holder of the log books that were kept up until a few years ago and thrown out in a house cleanup.

In the pics that Mort put up from the Bathurst Museum iin 2009, the Museum is telling us, by the sign they have up, saying, THIS IS THE REAL 05,

[enderwigginau]

And again, you fail to accept the very high possibility those doors in the build pic ARE NOT the doors that were on the car during Bathurst.....the doors that are still on the car today. You also need to realise that race paint IS NOT show quality or even road quality.......colours and/or finish between panels may be completely different....and cars can be sprayed assembled or panels may be sprayed separately........or any combination.........and anyone with experience in photography will explain that the pics you have put up are very deceptive in their display of colour between and across panels.......

[goxu1]

according to PC , this is the real deal...

He has changed his tune since then, that musuem is now closed sadly

The NMRM is making money from the display of the 05 VK. If PC really believed he had the 05 car and had real proof, he could have taken them to court at the time he had his museum up and running. This never happened.

One thing that always amazes me is he spent a lot of money restoring that car and there are a lot of mistakes, the most obvious is the two flags against the drivers names and the alignment.

[REDA9X]

Since we are comparing paint
