To be legal in stock or super stock NHRA requires it to have a metalic front bumper. This is why they went to aluminum in 1964 after the release of the early cars. It looks like he stuck with a steel bumper. Very few got fiberglass doors in '64 also so I doubt he went with those. You can tell if a T-bolt has fiberglass doors in early photos by the lack of a door lock cylinder. No locks in fiberglass doors. The hood looks fiberglass in the photos. My guess is he went with the fiberglass front fenders too but I've never seen the car in person yet. Crites Restoration makes all of the needed fiberglass parts. He does need to raise the front bumper to look like a T-bolt. They were raised on the original cars.
