Here's the car on opening night the first year. Jim ran this thing a little over two years before he wadded up too bad to be repaired. I mentioned above that Jim Strube was a Cowboy behind the wheel and he won a lot and he bent up a lot of cars at the same time!
As they did back in the day, the car morphed many times over it's lifespan. Here it has got different (later) wheel and rims, different suspension, and of course, a bunch of dented up metal.
He always kept those little chrome tail fin accents though!
I am building a representative car that happened somewhere along it's life. Those old things changed so much (sometimes week-to-week) that you can't really build a "replica look" so it has to just be some general recreation that has the look and feel of what the car was.
