When I sent Clyde pictures of what I had found, he was just beside himself. I did not meet with Clyde yet in person, but I did manage to meet benesesso (Dan) and here he is with his old Nitro Express car, and the Fletcher chassis and body back together after 35 years.

Thanks, I have a ton or more of time into the story. I just wanted to make sure that the car is what I was claiming it to be and that it got the proper research to put it back into its place in history. I am very lucky to be able to put the story as well as the major pieces of the car back together. I also have alot of people to thank for helping me. I would like to put the car back together as Clyde had ran it, and will be getting started in the restoration of it the near future.

William, Congrates on finding the body and frame. Looks like you have researched the car a lot. Good luck with the Harrell camp!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

William, neat piece of drag racing history. As I went back and re-read the thread, to say it has an interesting past is an understatement. Good luck with the restoration.

Neat story...So was it really stolen ?

Yes, it was stolen. When Clyde first ID'd the body I offered the car back to him. As far as getting everybodys ok on the car that is something time will tell. I would really like to find Clydes old Javelin body, but I can never get through to Don Hardy to see if he sold it or destroyed it or what they did with it? I also would like to find out who owned my Logghe? I was told it might of came from Charlie Hill, but then I found out the Hill brothers ran some of those cars to. I guess I need to do more investigating.
