DEFranks early car was a 64 Dodge, I took some pics of it at the 84 Gators.

Yes, DeFrank had the '64 Dodge 330 that Rick Johnson now has, but I'm 99% sure that he also had Bagwell's '64 Plymouth for a short while. If this isn't the case, the '64 Plymouth that Ken Montgomery has or had is painted just like the '68 Barracuda and the '64 Dodge that DeFrank had.
And yes, I know that Ken has had his '65 Plymouth since new. The '64 is an automatic and not a stick like the '65.

Ralph buit both of Jerrys cars, he is a very very talented chassis builder. Ralph and Tank put together some amazing race cars.

Sorry I didn't remember your Dad's name, know he was instrumental in the cars, maybe drove a bracket Daytona they built as well? In any case I knew Ralph did nice work based on Tank's rides but had no idea he helped build your cars. My best to Jerry and your Dad...here is a link to one of my albums, sure they will remember the Dusters and the 63 Plymouth (an ex-Tim Wilkerson ride no less).

This conversation begs the question....The A990 car in the display section at Indy this year, sure looked like the old Bagwell car to me.
