Here's the story: Several automotively inclined fellas from Indiana decide they want to go down to Florida and try their hand at NASCAR. The Permatex Sportsman series, to be specific. They aquire a discarded Holman Moody chassis, find a 64 junkyard T_Bird, buy a 427 Ford motor, and get the a body shop and a full service garage to sponsor and help out. Small time budget, but skilled and determined to make this happen. Here is the result.

OHHHHHHH....YYEEAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!
GREAT looking build!!!!!!!!!!
Love the story behind it!!
:) Super slick, super Slim.
And, I have to tell you - DX - my all time favorite of all the oil companies and their logos. First time I ever heard of it, was on an old dirt modified coupe -- sponsored by " Wimpy's DX, 3rd at Auction, Memphis. " The number on it might have been 4Q. Have forgotten the driver, but it just might have been " Jolly " John Fox. Probably 1956.
Great model, Slim.
Thank you!
yikes!!!!that is super nice!
