Nice representation there ARCAdude. Yes, I did watch this car at I-70 in 73 and to be honest, when I saw 432 Ci on the hood I kinda chuckled. The rule at the time of that race was 8 pounds per cubic inch so this thing had to weigh about 3500#! Everyone else was in the 2800-2900 pound range but Tommy won it going away. I never thought he could keep the tires under it for 200 laps but boy was I wrong. He was not only fast, the car was quiet. The 180 exhaust dumps were fitted with mufflers and the car would just kinda whoosh when it went by. Tommy was un-real that day.
Can you give us some info on the paint? I am sure a few of us would like to do one of the HRE cars but I have never been happy with my paint mix. What is it? By the way, good job on getting the four bolt door attachment plates added! Good eye. I dont think I ever saw that on anything but Ed's stuff but I can see where it would make body repair much easier. Those boys did beat em up a little as you can see in the photo below.
