All I know from talking to Dan from the paint shop is that they did over 10 cars for Motion Performance to paint the Motion stripes on them and this was the first car they did for them in their shop which got their foot in the door since they used numerous shops for their paint jobs and Joel probably shopped around to get best prices. Battaglia Auto Body was well known for their paint jobs on racing cars at Englishtown, N.J. back then. They advertized in Raceway Park News back then. They probably got chosen to work on this car due to Fredy living in Elizabeth, N.J. which was close to South Orange, N.J. He did Carman Rotonda cars and Brooklyn Heavy cars and for Jungle Jim Liberman.
