DC-93 (#88) at Amelia Island show

Seems like Petty Blue is a tough color to match..................some nostalgic race cars from the distant past..............................

I used the original left side headlight door cover to use for paint matching.
The 88 is painted exactly the same color as it was originally. It was never exactly “Petty Blue”, but very close.
See my thread and pics.

Sorry, it won’t be coming to Michigan.

Of course you are free to buy it and haul it back to Michigan!! Contact Ray Evernham in Mooresville, NC... =)

That’s insanely kool!

Thanks Matt.
As you know, it took many years to get it done. Whew!

Impressed by how the rollcage is integrated into the unibody across the floors.

I had already started a thread on this topic yesterday before this one appeared, so it might be worth consolidating them???

 

[odcics2]

good idea...

Got the threads merged. I got it done but checked a extra box and sent them to a different thread but Joey got it fixed. Carry on fellas!

Compare the original sound idling at the 200 mph run to the sound at Amelia.

That's over the torsion bar support/anchors.
Under the car they remove support to lower the chassis.
To get the strength back, they add support inside.
