The action in the photo obviously is staged, as theres a whole lot of nothing going on here. Theres a speed wrench on the cowl, yet Buddy is spinning one in the spark plug hole. One of the Holley carbs is loose, sitting on a rag and Ronnie appears half asleep staring at it. Nice job of "Product Placement" with the Fram filter AND box, labels up, on the radiator support, the Valvoline racing motor oil can, and the Hurst box on the floor with a mount and a white shift knob in the plastic bag in plain view. I'm assuming the other gentleman in the shot is Jake King.Curiously, I see theres some kind of smudge on the back of Buddy's right leg that I thought was a defect on my cover until I look at your photo and there it is again. I'm a little surprised to see the windshield wiper motor still in the car, perhaps it was required at the time. Cool thread here, keep it going. Danny Durham |

Sox & Martin SS/B
1968 NHRA Springnationals @ Englishtown Super Stock Eliminator vs. Barrie Poole (First Round) Snapped the GoodYear slick off the Keystone rim. If you look close, you can see that this BO29 has a wide white stripe on the roof and trunk deck-lid. Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 03-22-2012 at 06:52 AM. |

Re: Sox & Martin (BO29's Only)
A little trivia, can an anyone spot the differences between the two '68 Hemi Cuda's Sox & Martin raced...how do you tell them apart from all the photo's posted on them in the various threads posted here in the forums, other than their class #.
