Nice. Is that an original Classic body or a repop by someone? 
Where is Linda?

Thanks Dokk, from you . . well . . "That's Big"
Pattos repop, I did this tribute car in about 1999. Nothing too special, spray can and tape, it is all in the theme.
I never thought to bring it for an autograph.
She would love it !!!I had it on a perfect light use Classic but that aluminum body mount cracked with all my fussing around with the ride hight. And I was careful.
Now NOS Rannalli w/16D Hypoid. Might put the Classic or those Dynamic turbines that look like GM Olds-Pontiac wheels on it.

I hope Linda is well- I had heard she was not firing on all 8 recently...
That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

Great pictures, Linda is so beautiful. Looks like 1970-71 and 75-77
Now Zipptys going to come on and ask "what is the purpose of these women in racing . . . is that Miss Sprint Cup?"

I would like to put the original Classic chassis back under this body.
Does anyone have the alum. Classic (in-line) body mount in VGC or NOS?
Buy or trade.
These were a poor design
with too many tight 90 deg. bends (read-cracks) and a single self tapping (self stripping 
) screw that attached it to the chassis.
Thanks !

From one of the most beautiful women in motorsports. 
I found this in my draw today ... It was in my wallet for far too long, LOL .... cut off the bottom as it has her personal email and cell phone # are on it and I don't know if Linda would want that info public. 
I'm trying to get the courage up to call her and ask if she would autograph the slot car.

Converted to an Indy style Pace Car and now the body is Velcro mounted.
