WHOA!!! Hold on there Bubba-Louie!!!! The Ed Miller car is NOT mine, I am just doing a bunch of work on it for the owner. At this time I am not at liberty to say what car number it is, or the paint scheme that's going on it, because it is not mine. Sorry!!!

To return one of these cars back to it's 68-70 status is like walking a tightrope. Most of them went through many modifications, some alot more than others. Remember these things were just workhorses back then & collectability was nowhere in the picture. Very few cars survived uncut in some way or another. When a person wants to restore one of these things, first off you have to decide from what era you want it to resemble, because they changed alot through the years of racing. You don't want to remove anymore of the original car than you absolutely have to, because you have to keep as much of the cars identity as possible. Each car is different in how much you gotta replace. So it is a balancing act, & ultimately it is up to the owner how he wants it done. But, yes,rust free parts cars are a absolute asset when restoring a Hurst car. When you think of it tho, just about any car that requires any kind of resto. work will require some sort of parts car.
