    Is the car down near Indy? #0854 looks great. It would be nice to see
    a 1966 P3 restored back to original. That would really stand out. I guess your
    chance was with #0846. Oh well.

    With a Ford 4-cam Indy engine! Some Sprint Car guys used those engines with the heads swapped from left to right and vice versa. That way, the exhaust exited down instead into the vee of the engine. Cool rig, ex-Parnelli Jones maybe?

    Cheers,

    John's shop is in the woods about an hour from Indy. I'm heading out there in a few weeks and will ask him and get some more photo's. We should be pretty close by then.

    drool.

    looks just like a vintage aircraft skin with many stories to tell.... :)

    or the alloy skin on a vintage race car , wearing the scars and scabs of the the years and tracks.


    wonderful.

    It's really amazing how thin these original bodies are. It's also amazing the history you can see in them. Where the Le Mans # lights were removed and even where the leather tie down straps were mounted when 0854 ran at Le Mans. We removed over 30 lbs. of Bondo from her mostly from nose. She's a bit lumpy but very beautiful.

    Jim, I hope you don't mind me asking, but why did the 'Speedbird' stayed through this particular process?

    It is sticker also, isn't it?

    Yes. It's just taped on to remind us of days gone by.

    That's excellent!

    I would've peel it and then re-apply the glorious logo after all is done, but that's because I didn't knew there is this taping technique.

    Thanks, Jim.

    It's only my own opinion, but maybe you should restore the car back to Le Mans configuration, with number 23... And those tail colors...?

    sans vouloir emettre la moindre critique envers Napolis,
    il me semble que l'échancrure des échappements ou est fixer l'attache capot moteur, n'est pas identique

    without wanting to issue the slightest criticism of Napolis,
    it seems to me that exhausts notch or is attached fix the engine bonnet, is not the same

    Correct. That panel wasn't original so we remade it and I always make it obvious which panel we remade in the photographic history.

    Gee ... I'm confused. I've studied it for as long as I can at work and can not see the slightest difference ...

    Again thanks for the update.
