904-068

Here we
are starting to fit body work.
Here is
a shot with chassis number 904-068 in the fore ground and
the one on the right is chassis 067.
This is
the fitting of the inner roof structure to the cock pit.
The reason
the front of the car looks original is because it is.
The
middle part of the car was missing when purchased from Vasek
Polak Racing.
The car was cut in two about 100 years ago in
a race at the Savannah racetrack in Georgia.
The rear
view of the cock pit.
All of
the wiring remained in the front of the car.
Better
view of the original firewall. Note the fuses are still in
the fuse carrier.
When you
see the dark gray, that's original body work.
The front
end fit perfectly on the rebuilt chassis.
The body
work is set on the chassis for preliminary fitting.
The white
center section is new, it replaces the section that was destroyed
in the crash.
A view
from the rear with the original tail.
Note,
the original number 77 that still remains from the tragic
day
where not only the car was ripped in two by a telephone
pole,
but the driver lost his life from injuries sustained
in the crash.
A coat
of paint and one day to assemble it and she will be ready
to go.
We will give you detailed pictures and the complete
story on this car as we go.
