I grew up between Dodge Main and the Lynch Road assembly plants. The HOT sticker on the windshield was put on a lot of the high horsepower cars coming out of the Lynch plant. The cars were driven off the line through a security station and across the street to a lot where the cars were loaded onto trucks. The guys who drove those cars were all high seniority guys who were pretty much older. The HOT stick was to warn them of the cars power and not kill themselves.
The Hemi Bo29 cars were put into an adjacent lot after they came from Hurst. Went to see them a couple of times. Knew when they were being picked up when open trailers went down Mt Elliot street to the plant. Some racers bypassed the dealer and picked the cars up at the factory.

The pic is from an adjoining lot next to Lynch Rd Assembly Plant. It was taken by a high school friend about a month before we graduated. The cars were parked right up against the fence. There was no hiding them. At one time there were probably 6-10 at one time.

Nice shots, but I wonder who's B029 it turned out to be...also notice there are two pieces of paper stuck to the windshield.
