You did your usual fantastic work on this, Paul. Great detail as usual.
I just did a bit of Internet searching for the 1:1 car. I finally found two photos and neither one was worth a darned. I wonder why there aren't photos of this car on the 'Net. I found all kinds of photos of his other cars, just not this one. Weird.

I have all the Funnycar annuals from 1969 to about 1978 and no photos either. Maybe it was a car with issues or just not liked by him?

You don't see many pictures of this car because the body and paint job lasted a very short time ........... the body was damaged in an engine explosion and fire ........... they tried to patch it up and continue to run the body ( as can bee seen in the picture below taken at Amarillo Dragway ) ........ however the aerodynamic pressures on the patched body were too great and on its second run at Amarillo ( which was unfortunately a loss to Kelly Chadwick ) the body cracked again ......... after that it was disposed of and replaced with a new body and a new paint scheme.  |

, this was a paint scheme that was short lived. He had a few like that. Here's a few that I have stockpiled plus another version that is seldom seen and never had decals created, to the best of my knowledge.
