Default Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)

First, I would like to say I hope Copolocater rejoins this site, and moreover, I never was trying to anger him. If I were in his shoes I would be upset also. When a person takes the word of others and it's what they want to hear it is very discouraging to hear from another that it is not correct. With all due respect to the Gibbs, I do not think it was fair to make a statement to a person when they were not involved that part of the history - the funny cars were built out of Dick Harrell's shop in Kansas City, not for Fred Gibb Chevrolet. My information comes from the men that worked with Dickie and helped to run the cars. They even stayed at my house. The cars were painted by OOPS, John Fenson. He re-painted the 69 F/C car several times in 69,The SAME body.Made by Fiberglass ltd as were many. As confusing as the Harrell stable was, I could understand the confusion.
In 70 to 71 there was as many as 3 at one time 1 being a Vega. Yes Valeries 69 car was 118in wheel base. If I figure out how to send a few pictures on this site I will do so.
Good nite all hope you had a great thanksgiving
