HM,,, interesting photo here,,,not sure about the "Hot Sheet", but as I'm holding my June '68 issue in my hand and using a magnifying glass, I see the second line under the red H visible appears to be the designation BO29, and the next line under that has been blacked out and the wording Sox & Martin appears substituted in. The wording in the 1st and last line I can't make out, but the 1st line is someone's name, and it almost (to me), looks like the bottom line says: Thank You V.J. Whoever that is.
The action in the photo obviously is staged, as theres a whole lot of nothing going on here. Theres a speed wrench on the cowl, yet Buddy is spinning one in the spark plug hole. One of the Holley carbs is loose, sitting on a rag and Ronnie appears half asleep staring at it. Nice job of "Product Placement" with the Fram filter AND box, labels up, on the radiator support, the Valvoline racing motor oil can, and the Hurst box on the floor with a mount and a white shift knob in the plastic bag in plain view. I'm assuming the other gentleman in the shot is Jake King.Curiously, I see theres some kind of smudge on the back of Buddy's right leg that I thought was a defect on my cover until I look at your photo and there it is again. I'm a little surprised to see the windshield wiper motor still in the car, perhaps it was required at the time.
Cool thread here, keep it going.
