I built the headers (rear exit) for Wally after stories around were that you couldn't build conventional rear exit headers. ( I'm pretty stubborn at times) .
After Wally's car was out, I built a set for Dick as NHRA took a dim view of the front exit headers.

Is this the same car (see pic of Joe Scott's camaro below)?
Where did it go after Wally had it?

ANSWER = ........ "YES".. IT IS THE SAME CAR!
Wally had this built at FJ Smiths.
Sold it to Walt Kriel (from NJ?)
Joe bought it a few years ago after his GT truck burnt in a garage fire.

Neat stuff. Tom, do you know where my ex Joe Scott GT Camaro fits in this timeline?? See pics below of when I toyed with it back in 2002ish timeframe. I still have it, although she hasnt seen the light of day in years.. Tucked away in the trailer, while I tend to more responsible matters....

It was the Joe Scott lime green machine, that made the cover of SS&DI in 199__ something??

Would love to get the full history of her, and see some more pics of her back in the day..

Kevin

I know Steve Calabro was the first person to tell me it was once his, or his and Joe Fasano's. I think one of the Ficaccis, Mike or Dave, or maybe even Steve, also told us about the car's past. Anthony Bertozzi told us that he had bought it from Ken Bugaj. Ken has also contacted us and told us it once belonged to him. Also, both Arnold Greene and Mike Heintz told us some of the history of the car.

In any event, it has two class wins at St Louis, a runner up at the 2011 St. Louis race, and tow class wins at the Bowling Green SportsNational Open.

Orange Camaro ,,,,
I bought it from Steve, when we got it we built it for A/SA with a Hetler motor.
Mike Heintz and Arnold helped us out.
I tried it in Top Stock with the 427 but it really couldn't run with the 502.
I then got the Silver Corvette reworked it and got a 502 from the Morgan's...
I sold the Camaro to Bob Harris, Bob had it Painted Orange.
Bob ran it a few times and I bought it back ,,
Lee Truell bought it from me ,ran it for a year then sold it to Anthony,,
And so the story goes,,, It's a really nice car !
