The tale at the time was he had modified all the sheet metal so the car was rough 7/8 scale also to aid with streamlining by comparison. Has that been disproved?

I read that a 7/8 size would have been something like 6" narrower and 10" shorter so it was said not to be true. In this writeup about the car it says that the race model matched the profiles of another Chevelle that was parked near by, also owned by Smokey.... He was a Gem! I need to get his book.
