I decided to take off the steering wheel to touch up the paint - scope creep yet again.........
In other news.........Bob Gagliano tagged me on a an old photo posted on FB that he thought might be our car racing at the International Amphitheater in Chicago back in the day (bottom of first pic). Mom was able to dig up some old photos (some of which I have shared here previously) that included one of the car in the staging lanes there and she did recall that Eddie raced the car there - so who knows. The car in the FB post appears to have bucket seats so that would eliminate our car if so - hard to tell from the pics if there are SS emblems on the rear quarters, and the RF fender appears to have some damage which I don't ever recall in the history that I am aware of on our car.....but the setup on the car is pretty close to the actual pictures we have from back on the day just below the FB pic...... 
Also sharing some cool photos from when Dad did the quickie restoration back in the 1980 timeframe. That is Stretch sanding the hood when prepping to paint the car in our driveway in the last photo.  |
Cool classic shots, Jake - that 'hive on Josephine Pesci in the 2nd Amphitheater pic is ultimate indoor aero! Outdoors, a crosswind could send her control module spiraling into a negative-g roll, though ...?
