Jeff, the other reason I believe the magazine to be correct about two cars, was what Dick was quoted as saying. "it took 8 weeks and cost $12,000.00 to complete".

Unless Dick lied to the magazine, which I do not think he would, because A. he was an honest man, and B. to easy for someone to piece things together, and prove otherwise, thus hurting his image.

Tom, is your chassis a Hardy chassis and if so does it have the Hardy tag identifying which # it is? I'm only asking because the pictures of the red/black and all red car appear to be a Hardy chassis and the car definitely has the Hardy sponsorship on it. You can tell the Manhart car is a different chassis than the 68 DH opening door car so I keep thinking the body was separated from the chassis.

The tag is MIA, but Hardy chassis' are easy to identify, as are Loggee chassis' as seen under the Manhart car.

The Kirby car is the only Hardy/DH car I have seen that still had their tag, including the '69.
