Yes it was a race car.
I am working with the original owner who raced it at the track some, but didn't remember doing anything with these holes. He also drove the car as a daily driver. Today it has a little over 12,800 miles on it
The second owner of the car also raced it, but unfortunately has passed away. The third owner of the car did not race it.
I believe I am the forth owner of the car. When I bought it the previous owner had started to restore it and disassembled most of it.
The second owner of the car was a little more "disrespectful" of the car and put a few holes in her... it was just a race car ...
If they don't belong, then I will plan to get them patched up.
I really appreciate all your help and comments! I've been a member for a while but never posted.

I'm doing a thread on the build of my 396 car if any of it might help. Might find some good pictures in there. This car was never modified...Joe

Fantastic thread and great car. I always liked the yellow houndstooth in a yellow car. Looks fantastic!

This thread is getting useless without pics of your car! How's that for trying to shame you into letting us see what you got? Seriously, I would love to know more about your car since mine is also a low mileage Ohio COPO with a race history.
