I've attached a couple of photos of the spare tire set-up from my '64 Bambi. This set-up was offered as optional equipment on the '64 Bambi.

On my 65 GT I have one of these hangers in place. It is just a rough cut piece of steel and I thought was an after-market add on. Surprise to me.

I took it off and plan on putting it back on since. The steel had rusted and etched the aluminum leaving a spritual mark on the front. I tell folks it was a former priest's camper

My "cross" was rusty too...but I used some of my trusty POR-15 and... "viola"...the rust was gone!

That's the coolest spare tire cover I've see Yukionna. Polished!!!

Also there is the under mount option.
I will up load a couple of shots to my photo gallery.

Will try posting a photo later.

WELL-IT AIN'T SHARI'S PIECE OF SCULPTURE BUT HERE IT IS!
