I am letter up a model car for a guy to look like the "Shoyer Shaker". There is a decal on the front fender that i cant make out completely and was wondering if someone, anyone, can help. The bigger words to me look like they say DALE PYLE but i cant make out the word above and below those two words. any info would be greatly appreciated. DIRT

Tuned by sounds like it could be i would really like to be right on though lol, if i cant get the real deal i might go with that until i do find out.
Hey, new guy - read this http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44274 and then do your intro
I found a decent sized b/w pic of the car in the Aug 1970 issue of Drag Racing USA on page 49. ( sorry no scanner ) The sticker says BODY BY DALE PYLE
Dick Shroyer is my brother and yes, I'm sorry to say, he did die in March, 1993. It has been wonderful reading all the comments about his car. It was an English Thames and a heap of junk when he bought it but it morphed into one fast, beautiful racer. I would love to know who the model car was for. I have been trying to collect anything and everything about Dick I can find.
Sounds right. It says here Dale Pyle was a retired body shop worker. Interesting article: http://www.dispatch.com/content/sto...a_pyle_2-14.ART_ART_02-14-10_C11_TFGJ2LN.html
