Gene  

I'll add that the car was built by Bill and Billy Lowden who did an incredible job.  They followed as much of the information as we could give them on how the original was built over the winter of '71  - '72, including frame rails from a 1955 Chevy spaced out like the original was built, the right kind of Winters Rear with the old style bells, the correct type of front axle and buggy spring, and more details like that, complete with a 283 CI engine, period correct complete with an overflow jug from a 60's Corvette.  Bill and Billy fabricated all the of the front clip just like the original was, and did the same for the rear bumper, and the nerf bars.

Final blue spray was applied by D. Wolfe-358, and the personality of it was all brought out from the brush of Cos who did the lettering.

Glad Gene has gotten the car out to so many places where folks could see it, and is having fun doing so.
