The #1 BO29,,,The front bumper was twisted on that car.
The front left (driver side) section was twisted upwards.

The hood & grille paint scheme on that car was changed a few times.

All good points made...but check out the early pics and see if you can spot the twisted bumper in them...look for the gap between the right & left grills and the bumper.

Not an obvious Sox&Martin, might not even be a B029.
Any ideas on whose or what it is?

Is that Vanke in front of the car?

Moose/Paul,
This is S&M's first car - the one that was put together in SS&DI - note the red pinstripe near the rocker panel - This photo shows the first outing after the NYC Car show. This photo, the SS&DI photos and one clinic photo are all I have seen of this car - either it got re-painted or sold early??

Charlie, That is a real BO29 car - it is Ed Miller's before it was lettered.
From what I have heard, Billy Stepp did not buy a BO29 car new - he had 2- possibly 3
but they were bought from original owners. BTW, His Demon and Dart Sport P/S cars were originally built by others before Billy got them as well. Not sure about the Challenger.

Look at that 10.59 dial in(?). That was FLYING in 1968!

I think they just repainted the lower rockers later on and eliminated the pin-stripping altogether, notice the paint lines differ in early pics as they show the paint line 'above' the lower door edge, and in later pics it shows it 'even' with the door edge.
