If I remember right Jim built that car. He was doing a lot of restoration work at the time, and Jim Lewis(Jim Lewis Racing Engines) was working for him and stopped by my shop in Burleson with the hull. He had it dipped to remove the paint and filler. I am not sure if he went back to Van Buren or to Joe Smith's shop. I remember a few holes it the floor pans. Jim used to say there was nothing lighter than a hole!

I think that it was Joe Smith who built the chassis...or so Ive been told..

Its a great chassis...hooks hard and goes straight every time...the only weak link in the whole car so far has been the driver!

And ya...floor pan has some holes!! haha Never looked at it that way..holes are light...

Its nice to see pics from before...gives you an idea of the history of the car...all these cars seem to have very colourful histories..
