Dave we already know about the chassis its the body and sheetmetal work thats similar to Dicks.I never thought it was Dicks but the info I've received from68\30 Steve and Ratpack I'm not counting anything out it had to be somebodys.Its a stock body with sheetmetal work identical to Dicks 70 camaro thats the concern.Don Hardy couldn't give me a diffinative no that he didn't do it but he didn't give me a yes either.We are in the process of trying to figure out if there could be some relation to Dick.Either way it's a neat piece of history.

Tim check on the inside of the rear trunk. I have a picture of the rear 3/4 shot of the Harrell car and it has a short spoiler molded onto the rear. Looks like your rear spoiler was bolted on. The spoiler I'm looking at is very short and does not wrap around the body. It is not bolted on.
This Nova shot I'm attaching says the frame/suspension was designed and set up by Dick Harrell but the frame was actually built by Don Hardy. The Harrell '69 frame was near identical to this one for reference.

Dave both myself and Ratpack checked the spoiler area out.The current spoiler has been added.The area where the the spoiler is now looks to have been repaired at one time.Don't know if that means anything but we had assumed with that repair it could have possibly had a molded spoiler.

copolocator,

You need to find a Hardy chassis for your body. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Have you made any measurements, and compared them to Dick's and others bodies? What is the wheelbase? Just curious.

Post a free wanted ad on www.drag.race-cars.com for the Hardy chassis. Lots of vintage stuff is either for sale or wanted on that site.
