How about Jim & Jack Trost's VEGABOND. Vega ProStocker in the early days of ProStock. It was a SRD race car, pretty much just like Grumpy's. If I remember right, Trost's had a Body Shop in West Chester, Pa. and painted Jenkin's cars back then. The car was later sold to Ed Sielski who had a Speed Shop in Thorndale, Pa. and was driven by Gil Davis, later to be Lee Deans crew chief, in C or D Gas!
