Default Re: 1967/1968 Dick Harrell funny cars

Hey Jeff, great pictures you dug up showing the same 68 funnycar body. I think that shows there were a few of them running around back then from the same mold. But to my untrained eye, neither of the 68 DH cars that have been shown look like Tom's car. The lower rocker area appears to be very different on the 1st DH car(non opening door car) where Tom's lower rocker area appears to be identical to the Platt car and the others that Jeff linked pictures to. The height of the rocker and the angle it bends down and in behind the front tire don't match. But I know I'm not a funnycar or fiberglass expert so please don't throw anything at me. JMO for what it's worth.

I forgot I wanted to ask another question. I'm lost in all the information that is going around. Did I read somewhere in these posts that one of the 68 cars had the body removed and a 69 body placed on it for the 69 season? If so, would that have been the 68 with the open door? Sorry if I'm getting my information mixed up. I think this is a great discussion as long as we keep it civil.
