Paul
Are you sure these 2 pix are of the same car???? I'm looking at the hood colors & they're not the same.

Daryl,

The fenders and decal placement are the same on those cars.

Yes, the hood and front-grille paint scheme are different, but it is the
same car.

Sox & Martin went to the 1968 Springnationals at Englishtown with only
one BO29. The NHRA #784 car.

So if Sox & Martin did repaint the hood on the car from white to blue sometime during the '68 season as mentioned, then is this the same car that was at the '69 Detroit auto show...notice it does not have the engine call out on the right & left edges of the hood.

check out the rear bumper

And...no wide blue stripe between the white and blue paint line either. At least none my tired old eyes can see.

Notice that this S&M car has been updated with '69 header panel, hood and grille shells in this pic. Would this have been a legitimate Super Stock car or might it have specifically built as a match racer, Modified Production entry or very early Pro Stock car?

Some good points made here...I'm thinking Chrysler told them to build one for the car show circuit to promote the brand...but it could have easily been put into action after the car show stint was over...Anyway here's another one of Sox & Martin's B029's with different decal placement on the front fenders.

Liteweight, just noticed this...is this the point you trying to make earlier about the rear bumper.
