I do not think you could get a HT Chevy II down to J weight of 2766 with driver without making a panel car like Cassils.
You lost me on that one,, Tom. What do you mean by "a panel car"? I saw all the Chevy IIs at Columbus last May for the SS/K shootout,,, they put on quite a show,, as did Harrison's "Snoopy" car which won on Saturday that weekend.

Cassils car was suppose[not for sure] to be a car that was built from scratch or panels down south somewhere. Much like todays bodies in white cars. It is a very well built car and lite. Chevy II ht cars have reinforcements in roof to keep the doors closing good, but you could leave or take them out if running a cage along with other pieces and parts that would make them lite .Corky East first brought it to the Midwest, it was then sold to Wally Wilson then to Cassils. It has a long a storied career and has always been fast and good looking with many different paint schemes. Tom

Okay,,, now I follow you. Thanks Tom, for the explanation. I had a '66 hardtop SS in the '70s and I remember after some time, the doors didn't quite close like they used to. I just ran a 6pt. bar in it and didn't have frame connectors,,, those 7600 rpm launches and waist high wheelstands took their toll. I wish I had it back so I could do it right nowadays,, but its been gone for almost 30 years,, life moved on. Take care.

Wasn't that a Garley Daniels car originally? That should tell you a lot.

No my car was a Garely car, not his World Championship car. Bob Rice knows the story. Tom
