Boy does that picture bring back some memories! The paint was done by Kelsey Martin and I did the lettering and striping.I believe Bruce Cambriello did the cartoon characters.Bob was a good friend of mine back then and I know I have a picture or two when I was painting it around somewhere.Haven't talked to him in years;hope he's still with us.Dennis Pateras would know.

Here's a couple of earlier pictures I took at Aquasco MD in 1965 or 66.Note Malcolm Durham's car has just undergone a 14 inch body extension and isn't repainted yet.As I recall he dusted the Ramchargers pretty badly that day.

 

wow!! some great stuff today
