that's it for sure. Depends on when/where the pic was taken, could've been when it was transitioning from Gene's Speed Shop to Border Jumper when Larry had it. Or like Hemitime said just after Kerr painted it and before it was lettered. Where'd you find the pic Charlie? Very cool, thanks for posting.

Could also be when car was getting lettering changed from originally being Gene's Auto Racing Equipment to Gene's Speed Shop.I think this makes the most sense? I also remember hearing story of how one of front fenders was burnt with a space heater one winter so maybe that prompted relettering?? I can ask Gene when this happened,he still is pretty sharp for an old buzzard
