My husband actually builds hot rods and I myself have a love for vintage cars, so I was already well into the car culture. Shelby's early team (in Venice, CA) were some of the best early hot-rodders around and that also was very interesting to me … coupled with my love for period hair, how could you lose, what a great project! I started my research by looking up some of the real drivers of the time, along with Miles and Shelby. There is a great documentary entitled This Time Tomorrow of the actual 1966 Le Mans race which I felt was the perfect base for the look of the show. Classic and simple. For Ken Miles, we cut Christian's hair very close to his character's. It was a clean period cut. Clippers and scissors. When he wasn't racing, I used Vitalis (which was light and had a great fragrance, kinda like Dad's Old Spice). When he was racing or working on the cars (hot and sweaty), I used Layrite Supershine and Kerastase oil. Continued on page 41
