The #28 body was on the car restored as the Pete Hamilton #40.   Nice to see it got saved.

Making vroom vroom noises.

The car is pretty much complete less engine, trans and rear gear.    It last ran at Texas World Speedway in 1976.   They blew their last engine and parked the car.    It's changed hands a couple times between then and now.   It is definitely a car originally built by Nichels Engineering.

Brent & Sheri,
Congrats on the Nichels chassis! It was advertised here locally in the Indiana Auto and RV trader paper. I contacted Doug ( AERO426 ) right away! I hope you can get some back history on the car and how it was raced originally!

That ad sure got plenty of action for a trader paper ad.    It hit Moparts,  the model car message board,  Mopar John saw it.   Rich Kelley saw it.    Uncle Milt went to look at it,  He was next in line if Brent and Sherri opted out.    It was not going to last long with the power of the interwebz.

thanks Scott, you gave me my morning laugh

Doug said put the seat over there and sit in it and I will take a picture, it is not possible to sit in a racecar seat and not pretend to drive...... :lol:

I am just waiting for getting it running to actually drive it......I already told Brent, we may have some sharing issues

it is my birthday present, so I think I get to drive it first!
