Bill Thomas race cars

[1962GS]

I have Bill Thomas decals on BOTH vent windows of my '64 Sting Ray. Back in 1968 or '69 I had their shop fit Koni shocks and change my manual steering to the faster power steering ratio. They cranked the new shocks to about setting three out of six, creating a hard ride but a better slalom racing machine.

About 15 years later I had Dick Guldstrand put a full big-block heim-joint suspension on it. I also customized the body with '58 headlight buckets, '82 fender flares, etc. in the style of a Grand Sport. The decals will probably have to go when I remove the windshield one of these days, maybe I'll hang 'em on the wall.

I am also an early Chevy II fan (my oldest son has a '63 100 two-door post with a 388 small block, discs, frame connectors, fuel cell, Torq-Thrusts, etc. that screams.
Bill Thomas built some awesome Novas.

If Chevy had given him the support necessary and deserved, Bill Thomas could have out-done Carroll Shelby. Good to see him involved again, if only to authenticate the continuation Cheetahs.
