identifying nickey cars, and yenkos, and...

[black69]

The guy had some paperwork that said it was authenticated by nickey (i thought by don s?, not sure but i did ask repeatidly if it was a blessed car and he showed me paperwork), all he told me some guy living today knew he built 'that exact car' because he fould some mark on the core support or somewhere around there. he told the owner where to look and low and behold it was there just where he told him to look. to me its like signing the bottom of a picture, but hidden on the back of that picture. I beleive it was a chicago car that ended up out of state and now back home, never got the impression this was a california car. at this point i am convinced the nickey cars could have builder fingerprints on them hidden, after talking to the guy standing in front of that black car, and he said it was authenticated as real by nickey. not sure about the other cars at this point, but now have to wonder. maybe guys did this so when they came back for service, they knew who to fire and who to keep, or if car was in an accident, and returned for service as if it was never in an accident(core support would be the first thing to go?). or maybe it slaughtered anything it got into a race with, they could know who built that car as bragging rights. to me its easier to keep track of hidden marks versus looking at serial numbers of cars. I am thinking not just one person built all the yenko cars or the nickeycars, or motion, etc. I think there 'may be' individual artist signitures on these things, so I am just bringing up the topic because the topic came to me this past weekend.
