Baldwin COPO

Interesting thread.

After doing a bit of poking around on the 'net, I found a pic of Heavy, standing beside what might be this car only the car in the pic has had the rear wheel wells opened up for tire clearance (just google Brooklyn Heavy then click on images and scroll until you find it, it appears to be a picture of an old photograph ... the pic is of the passenger side of the car).

If this is the same car as the one featured in this thread, I would expect some evidence of repair in that area.

One other thought, if the car ran Corvette side pipes at one time and open headers when racing, how was the exhaust able to wear off the date on the rear end housing?

Edit: You just posted pics of the car in primer and mention the dark areas of primer are where the lettering was yet the wheel well appears to be stock (certainly not the same as the pic I mentioned finding on the internet). If these are supposed to be the same cars, then that suggests the entire quarter panel was not replaced when the wheel wells were fixed (if the entire quarter was replaced, the lettering would be gone ... no need for extra primer). That would mean there has to be evidence of the quarter panel/wheel well being returned to stock.

Please keep in mind, I am not trying to state this is not or that it is anything ... I am just trying to figure out how the pieces of the puzzle fit together.
