Default Re: 1967/1968 Dick Harrell funny cars

I know I'm seeing several different paint and sponsor setups in these pictures. And I can't really imagine how the opening door would really be set up on the one car. But if I assume I'm looking at 2 different cars it also looks like both were solid red at one time and both had the black top at some point in time. The latest picture shows the "Howards" in what appears to be black or dark paint but it appears as a light color paint in the other pictures. The "*" is in some pictures and not others. And there appear to be fender and quarter pinstripes in some pictures but not others. Would they have used Kirby's car and painted over Kirby's name for whatever race they needed it? It seems like way too many changes to be 1 car showing up with different paint/sponsors that many times but I guess it's possible. If there was any way to date the pictures it would help understand if there was a sequence as the car changed. But it's hard to look at old photos that could be distorted and the black/white photos that could be reflecting a gold or silver background as light or dark depending on the angle. Whhhewww, my eyes need a beer!
