Funny Cars

Didn’t Walt Austin p*** away a couple years ago?

 

Isn’t it cool how accurate the bodies were way back? Actual door handles, side markers, taillights, etc.

 

Ron Pellegrini who started Fibergl*** Ltd. was known to rent a car that had the desired body, wax it really well and pull a plug from it and return the car. In the early FC days that gave the detail but as time went on the details went away when smoothing out the lines for areo was more important. A local guy Herman Leismeister had a Fibergl*** Ltd. ‘70 442 that was possibly one of one (?) and another local racer, Dale Creasy Sr. had a ‘70 Torino, one of three.

Dale Creasy Sr. had one also, there was a third but IDK who ran it.
