Chapter II:
Being a racer I got over it pretty quick. I can't really afford to build a new car and I really don't have the time either. But I'm a racer and I don't know what else to do so I started looking for a new car as soon as I got home. Word got out and fellow racer George Kopecky stepped up with Scott's ******** and they came up with a clean SC tub for me. Not the best deal in the world, but it was a good tub and I could scrape the money together.
This is going to be a semi rotisserie restoration. That is I'm not going all the way like I would on a show car. I probably won't pull the front fenders and the wiring harness is not coming out. Most of the parts from Shamu will transferred over so it will be a new and better car, but with the heart of Shamu.
The motivation/theme for this new car is an SC replica of the Mary Stuart RSR. I actually drove the real Mary Stuart car so I have an appreciation for it. I have been working a '73 MS RSR but that is on hold till the SC is done. I'm trying to have this car done for Rennsport Reunion should I be blessed with admittance. This is where we are going: Except it will be a PCA D-class racer.
