And many shots too!!! If I could only go back to 1968, and use my 'then' college trust fund to purchase a couple of cars. Amazing, how many of them became available in late 1969 and 1970, right after the Winternationals. $5500 was just about the going price for a non Big Name car. pc |

WHOA!!! Hold on there Bubba-Louie!!!! The Ed Miller car is NOT mine, I am just doing a bunch of work on it for the owner. At this time I am not at liberty to say what car number it is, or the paint scheme that's going on it, because it is not mine. Sorry!!! JSL Racing To return one of these cars back to it's 68-70 status is like walking a tightrope. Most of them went through many modifications, some alot more than others. Remember these things were just workhorses back then & collectability was nowhere in the picture. Very few cars survived uncut in some way or another. When a person wants to restore one of these things, first off you have to decide from what era you want it to resemble, because they changed alot through the years of racing. You don't want to remove anymore of the original car than you absolutely have to, because you have to keep as much of the cars identity as possible. Each car is different in how much you gotta replace. So it is a balancing act, & ultimately it is up to the owner how he wants it done. But, yes,rust free parts cars are a absolute asset when restoring a Hurst car. When you think of it tho, just about any car that requires any kind of resto. work will require some sort of parts car. M68 You keep on blowing me away with your pix. HOLY CRAP Man.!!! Very Cool!!!! Keep them coming!!!!. Even after I find the history on my car,(if that ever happens) this thead will continue due to the input & interest yous' guys are putting into it. Well Done!!! Liteweight Daryl |

If Paul finds the history to my car, I will come down there & take him out his favorite Italiano resturant, and I live in Mid West Canada , but he's going to have to put up with me for the weekend. Lightweight Daryl |
Re: Original hemi dart information

Re: Original hemi dart information
It retains all it's original fiberglass & sheet metal, including the frame rails & location of them. It did have a set of sheetmetal inner tubs only installed in the 70's sometime, but they have since been removed & a set of original inner tubs from a parts car have been put in, up against the frame rails. There is a filler installed between the inners & the outers.
Ya, I like the big rear tire thing on these things, & it hooks HARD too!!!. Liteweight Daryl |
