Cool picture Mark, interesting that the Corvette expansion tank is installed as well.

Ooh, Now that's tasty... and a Black/Red car to boot.

The Hot Rod Thomas "Bomb" article was March '62 with GM part numbers. Someone was spreading this "development" hardware availability info around.

This info/hardware in the article included HD suspension, brakes and "radius rods" added to rear suspension (similar to Corvette). Rear end would take Passenger/Corvette gears but, yes, would be the weak link. Front end would be better with those installed HD parts (springs, sway bar & brakes) but still the same Chevy II geometry. I think the White Thomas car did end up in a Canada road race and won. ...unless that was one of these. Have an article somewhere showing it racing there.
