I have not done the NCRS not sure how, I have just been putting it back together as close as I can tell it was last modified, as far as a dealer goes it has a old Trider Chevrolet frame? not sure if that a was a dealer it was at ever or just a old frame I still have it hanging on my wall.

It is a Comp 305H I ran one in 396 nova in the 80's and the car ran quite good (12.30's here)for what it was so I decided to go old school and try one again.

This seems very similar to the car that there was a discussion about on another thread that was owned by an Anaheim pd detective.

Vern Trider? That was an Anaheim Chevrolet dealerstarted out on Anaheim Blvd if I remember correctly, then moved to the corner of Euclid and Lincoln...Changed to Southland Chevrolet in 1993? Southland is now closed as well...and a Target store is on the land where the dealer once was...

The fun part putting it back together and detailing, nice to see the front end going back on.

Has it been documented that nickey/thomas engine transplants received yellow painted engines? If so, what is the color name or paint code. Roger
