Smokey had three 1966 Chevelle race cars. He restored one using some spare original parts and re-made some missing parts. He wrote about it in his book so you may find info there on the parts you have.

The car he restored was found about 15 miles from my house. I think Floyd sold the car to a collector out west. Mark

The first one he built he crushed into a block and left it sitting in front of his shop for awhile.
