Lots of conversation....that's good.
No offense taken on my part. I agree that we all need to be as accurate as possible.
Concerning the hemi Boss Bird....I know that the body still exists. It was only a body....I have no knowledge what happened to the rest of the car.
Steve...I genuinely appreciate your compliments about our work. Having Arnie's name and history attached to the car opened a lot of doors and captured the interest of the Pontiac crowd. Over the years, we have also run this car at events that were not Pontiac-specific. Casual fans in that environment do not necessarily know Arnie. So the popularity of our Grocery Getter is a combination of Arnie's history and our current efforts. BTW: many of the behind-the-scenes movers & shakers in the industry are more receptive to helping us on our projects when they know we're building/campaigning Beswick car(s).
Concerning the corporate nonsense engine....Arnie has one of these drivetrains and it is in the '64. It was removed from the '63....so I only counted it once. Then Arnie loaned the '63 to Rick Thomas and provided components to refit it with traditional power.
Steve.....I enjoyed your visit here this summer. The garage is pretty much finished and everything is in out of the weather.
I just took delivery of my new SFI-20 suit for the funny car. Already had the -20 gloves and boots. Going to use all of them in the GG. Paul is an important friend...I hope he is properly protected.
