Default Re: 1967/1968 Dick Harrell funny cars

Actually "yes" it does..look at the door near the top where the rear edge of the door curves towards the front of the car...notice the area appears to have a silvery appearance to it..this is from light hitting the area..Notice in your corresponding photos (all three are of the same car, at the same time..notice the rock color and lighting..) where the sun is coming from..it is shining from right to left as evidence by the 3rd pic and shadow of the guy bending down to look at the car..His shadow is cast on the left of the photo..hence the sun is shining from right to left when viewing the photo..If the there wasn't a pronounced "thickness" from a door in that area the area wouldn't be the silvery in apearance..

Now look at your second pic...the pic taken from the drivers side but showing the engine and interior..notice the shadow from the body line on the front of the door..Notice how this shadow appears "staggered" or not uniform..This is from the sun hitting the car and because of a door there the shadow appears "broken"..if there wasn't a door there there would be a uniform line in that area..as the "scribed" door would be in line with the fender..

Also notice how the gaps appear larger in certain areas..because the 1st photo was taken almost perpendicular to the car shouldn't those scribed lines be uniform if in fact they are scribed..vs an actual seperate panel...

Finally with the body being in the air a door would more than likely add weight to the center of the car..hence body lines would be tighter..and not uniform..You guys are really funny..i'm not a "rabbitt" or anything else..you guys need some serious help..

Tom what can you tell us about the door lock cylinder??? I guess in restoring the car you didn't notice DH didn't use those...

Tom why don't we take these photos to someone that is an expert in studing photos..Someone like a Robert Groden. If he says you have no door in the pics then your case is certainly won and the value of your car shoots up...

Food for though
