as i said earlier it aint nothing for me to get some years mixed up .... i know that while working at the junkyard a nascar race driver would come by from time to time and get a monte carlo body .. ..i`m thinking it was mid to late 70's .. i know that in the early 80,s i'm working at the machine shop .. Thompson Industries ,, and i know that we are the major sponsor of a nascar race team ,, car # 52 .. the junkyard owner also had a small advertisement on the car .. i`m telling my new wife that " hey !! i work at a company that sponsors Jimmy Means race car .. she knows absolutely nothing about race cars but she knows Jimmy Means .. she`s related to him .. he came to a family reunion later that year .. i remember seeing him but do not remember speaking .. you can see Thompson Industries on the quarter panel .. North Alabama Auto Parts should be on a small sticker somewhere else ..local radio station WIXC sponsored him for a bit earlier .. i found a picture of that car and this car ..iv`e used up all my sick days at work .. can i call in dead ?
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
