Ray Allen started the resto. Do you think he is a resto expert ? Chip finished it in a hurry to make the auction. How many have worked till the 12th hour to meet a deadline. How many relied on a painter to get something done when absolutely promised ? I'm sure if Chip had a few more weeks he would have gotten the sheetmetal lined up better. NBow take it out, drag race the crap out of it for a few years and it will look perfect.

It was not my intent to slam the people that restored the car and was only commenting that I thought the car deserved better due to it's history. Mike G's Jenkins car is a perfect example. I seriously doubt that car looked that good when it was raced but it is a work of art now.

I have never been a source for controversy but need to just learn to just keep my mouth shut.

Don't need to keep your mouth shut Rick. Call them as you see them. This is still a free country!

I didn't think you were slamming. I was just giving my opinion.

Rick, your post wasn't slamming at all IMO. I'm with you, good panel fit should be there on a million dollar RESTORED car. Even though it looks more as an authentic racer I would still like it lined up better. Cool car.
Kinda like new breasts, lot of miles but get em straight when refilled!!

I didn't think you were slamming it either Rick...

The engine and trans was blown years ago. The interior was lost after the first week of racing, and all the sheet metal had been replaced.
I hope the history was what the buyer was after.

If the car would have been put up for sale just as it was when drag raced I'm sure there would also be a bunch of people saying "Too Bad they didn't fix it up" or "Too bad they didn't restore it back to stock". The other car that was stock sold for much less so it is obvious that the car was sold based on it's history.

Im sure if you check your history books you would find out he was not undeafeted.

If I remember right, the Allen car lost a few rounds into the Nats @ Indy...?
