Way cool Verne. Keep us posted!

He'd like to find some of the old decals that he had on it, like Keystone, Air-Lift, Hooker. If anyone has any, I'd appreciate it if you could help.

Verne,

I've got one Air-Lift sticker. Found it while I was looking for something else. It's a freebie for a good cause. PM me your address.

Jon,
Received the Air-Lift decal today. It will look like it's always been there!



These are the kind of things that make this hobby so enjoyable.

That's great, Verne. Glad it made it safely from one coast to the other. It is very pleasing to know that something I was probably never going to use has now found its rightful place.

Verne,

There is also a vendor called Past Lane Auto that sells a lot of these decals. I bought many originals from him back when I was restoring the Dave Strickler Old Reliable Z28 Camaro. I'll see if I can come up with an address and phone for you.

Merry Christmas,

Jerry

Thanks Jerry.
Back on page 1, the photo of the car in front of a garage shows the way he had it decaled. The photo of it on the track was after he sold it to the next racer and some things were changed.
I spoke to his son recently and learned that the candy red and blue paint he put on it was actually model car paint! I guess that's an example of the kind of budget those Junior Stock guys were on back then. It didn't hold up at all to the sun and got real ugly. It wasn't on there very long before he went with the white and brown scheme.

Merry Christmas

Verne
