Had another great day adding to the history of the Rats Nest COPO. Went to the Gathering of the Geezers event at KilKare Dragway. Met up with Denny Davis who took Rats Nest down the track just like his Dad did over 50 years ago. Denny had his daughter Emma riding shotgun. Video is posted on my Facebook page.
Also ran across a relative of a prior owner. Terry (Gator) Knisley is the nephew of Daniel Knisely (deceased). Daniel owned the car around 1975 and drag raced it without lettering but still in the red/white/blue paint scheme. Gator remembers this car sitting on a trailer at his uncle's house.

My best attempt at recreating pics from 50+ years ago. I took these with a high resolution camera so hard to duplicate a shot from 1971 timeframe.

Tommy Lee Bird created a great video of the car for his Youtube channel "The Hot Rod Hoarder". Enjoy!
