Dick Harrell Special Edition 02 cars

No. Sorry to say we are going to wait for Vals car and then hope we have the time and can afford to take it places. We are also trying to restore the 69FC which will be a long challenge.Matt hit the jack pot on the Kirby car. It was in pretty fair shape. I must say I really like that new Harrell car. The blue is just plain pretty. When we were there it hadnt been color sanded or rubbed out and it still looked great. All the Harrell guys liked it also and they would be the 1st to let you know if they didnt feel it was worthy of the name. The fact that so many showed to pay tribute to the man says a lot about him.

I heard a rumor one of the original mechanics from Dicks shop may be driving one of the southern legs in the 2002 DH SuperCamaro. Any facts to this rumor?

Not sure but I would like to know where the cars got painted. Nice car thats for sure.

Hows the Phase III engine compare to that of the 02 ZL1 Phase III engines

They are painted at GMMG. When we were at the unveiling there were two other Harrell cars waiting to get sprayed in their paint booth. Dan

The body work and prep is done at GMMG and then taken to a place nearby with a state of the art paint booth.
I didnt hear of any Harrell guys driving the car on the tour but that would not suprise me.
I am not sure how the engines differ from the ZL1 phase 3 to these. As normal though. time brings more technology and that brings more power, I wanted to tune up the heads a bit on Valeries but Matt doesnt want me too. Guess us west coast guys dont know nuff about that.

Lets put it this way. We know that flow doesnt always make it go.
My guy did a set of heads for a top team last year that was down 50cfm on flow that made 50ft lbs of torque and 35 HP more than the leading heads they had We also know the difference between streetable power and having to be over 6000 rpm to make it run.
I thought you were on the road. Val and i wanted to talk with you. DP

funny thing, haven't heard anything from matt murphy in this forum about the cars, strange.

Matt I am sure would, if he could find the time to sit down for 30 minutes. He has already shared plenty where it counts. The magazine articles will be great reading when they are published.

Matt Murphy is unbelieveably busy right now. I don't know how he does it. I'm sure if and when he has the time he will reply.
