You need to be the leader of this site and step up and show everyone pictures of your car as you found it(no matter what kind of shape it was in nor how much repair work has been done)and some during the restoration showing why you think you have a Dick Harrell car.

This is a pretty weird statement...he IS the leader of this CLUB but for my 2 cents he really doesn't have to keep you happy...you have thrown around a lot of BS here Ratpack....coyly saying it may be a historical southern car...making references to people who know there were only 1 car but not naming anyone and since when did you become a funny car expert ?.....lets be realistic here..it's a funny car that was a POS and has probably been to 14 different hands and messed with each time...measuring magazine pics is pretty stupid. Just what is your whole interest in this anyway...tell me its just your historical interest right ? Lets face it..you , Val, Pulde or Timmy wouldn't know what the real Harrell car looked like if it walked up and bit them in the ass...most people wouldn't, myself included. All you can go by is what you can dig up and what people "who were there" tell you..Look at what happened when Pudle made the call on the Kirby car...he said it will never be a real Harrell car back then...they all peed on themselves and fawned over Toms car... now all of a sudden a message from the spirits or something and the [censored] hits the fan. Looks pretty obvious doesn't it ? If it were my car I would have the sandpaper out already whether it was Dicks car or not. All this really does is give people a chance to spank their little chubby because they think they finally are creating havoc with their arch enemy Tom ...hey maybe they want to steal the Gibb name and license the Harrell name and stop all the evil websites from using those name without paying
. This is a joke...these are cars and personal vendettas are for kids...but I guess if YOU have a "leader" that has absolutely nothing else to do but worry about how he can destroy the SYC it will go on forever...why don't people just tell him to screw off ? Tom...you guys can delete this...or fire me or whatever...this is just too much of a laugh for me...these are some strange birds and for me to try and be objective and try to pretend this is all about the funny car would be an insult to my intelligence....

Very well said Bob. I was going to write-up something just like it earlier today, but you have chosen the right words, and it is well written.
I commend Tom for restoring his 68 DH Camaro Funny Car, and let all of us who attended SCR8, see it, and watch it tear up the 1/4 mile. I had the chance to talk to Tom a couple of times, and I tell you, he is a great guy, and I feel privileged that I had a chance to see this remarkable piece of DH history.
