We definitely do not want it to look like the photo I have on the
wall here at the shop. I have a shot of the car right after the
accident up against the fence where the car came to rest, as well as
one of it in the pits prior to the race and one during the race just
past the Dunlap bridge.
It might be fun to get a collection of all the photos people have of
this historic car all in one place.
