Both John McClain and Ed Brose pointed us toward Bob Clark in Mitchellville as someone to talk to about the car. We knew he used to own the car and had a Slant 6 engine but that's it. I wrote Bob a letter telling him we'd love to hear more about the car and we could bring it out for him to see. He gave me a call and said he'd love to meet and looked forward to seeing the car again. We went out on Sunday July 2 and met with Bob and his wife Lonnie. The nicest couple. We learned that Bob had the car for 20+ years and built her as you see her with the exception of the Hemi, transmission and likely the exhaust. Oh, and it turns out they used to be neighbors of Bill and Maggie!
Bob went to a car show in Bondurant with a For Sale sign and met Gordy there. He said they struck a deal. Marie Johnson remembered that happening because they were at the show.
When you look at the photos, it looks like light reflections or splotches...I was taking pictures of pictures outside on a bubble glass table. I have a separate post under Who Did What with more details.
