Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)

[davenkc]

Rick,
I too am a lover of the stock Chevelle. I assume you were at the reunion. If so I am the guy who was taking up a lot of time with Joe S. around his DH Chevelle. You see I personally am the guy who did the conversion on that car.
Imagine my reaction when I saw it on the cover of that mag.
Just FYI there is another of those cars undergoing resto at this time. I cannot wait to see it in person. To be honest when I first walked up to Joes car I turned away for a min.
The lump in my throat just would't let me talk just then.
The best I can describe it is like walking into a room and suddenly it is 1968.
On Dick's tractor trailer I believe it was a lend/lease deal from Quaker State oil co as part of the sponsorship
deal. That is what I believe it was. At least at the first.
