it's interesting to note the front suspension problems. i've seen where Ronnie Sox had said that the cars they got were "pretty good right out of the box" and i find that very interesting. i don't think thier cars were any different then everyone elses, at least before they got into them. afterwards, well that's pretty obvious.

how many Barracuda's did they get from Hurst? so far with what i've found just one, the second one. the first came to them unfinished right from the Hamtramck plant so i've read and the third? was built by them.

Daryl,
An article by Bob Tarozzi (Engineer on the Hemi Program).
quote;
"The program was not without its problems.
A front suspension/handling issue developed, and modified pieces were sent to 'SOME' racers who had already picked up their cars in
early-March."
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was the upper control-arms and a steering linakge unit.
