I was at an indoor car show all weekend (see
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...=594667&page=2 for photos) and Mr Wangers and I were working the same display.
During a break in the action I asked him specifically about the red roof/grey roof differences. He said that the car started out with the body colored roof because, at that time, it was intended to be more of a "stock" racer. When GM banned any activity in racing that essentially caused the creation of the "FX" classes. That allowed Jim to deviate more from stock and do something more eye-catching with the paint scheme, so the roof was painted red at a later date.
