Brian (Herk56) sent some, also, that came fom the Hurtibise book that shows good detail of the coil over suspension. The car was fluorescent red with gold numbers and Tombstone Life sponsor very much like the NOVI he drove (for one lap!  ). Mongo |

I will try to post the bare frame and the reference pictures tomorrow. Got all the frame scratched up and the engine, etc., about done. Got to use some Milliput and Evercoat on the hood, to smooth out where the big kit hump had to be removed.
This is one of the cars I am building that has a body panel left off on the engine side, so that is a reason I was looking for a better engine than what comes in the kit, size wise. But it will work to hang the exhaust off of, as Sheriff Bart says! ;D
Sheriff Bart/Russ (oldcalhoun) has my enduring thanks for all his help on these cars.

Things got hectic around the house! ;D It's been raining for about 2 months, and things are a mess........ Also, been on the phone to see how things are going for Daytona....... tearing up *Kellie* at Rockingham has been a set back. Mongo |
