Quote: So if the 2% cars were shipped aMax Wedge cars did they have the aluminum doors like the A864 cars or just the aluminum front end like a Max Wedge?
The AFX or 2% cars had aluminum doors along with the front ends. Bill Stiles has told me the Strickler car was raced s with the max wedge very early on before being swapped over to Hemi. The way you can tell the aluminum doors on the AFX cars was no wing vent windows. The aluminum doors ended up on the Strickler SS Hemi car when the AFX car was sold to George Whalen. The car became the Rebel with steel doors....
I am doing the resto on a A864, the "NICE GUYS" car. It has the original paint aluminum doors with stock glass vent windows, plexi roll-up windows, regulators and brackets made from thinner gauge steel and the normally cast window mounting channel is stamped from light gauge aluminum. This car wes a great reference source as it was never tubbed or caged, it was original paint from the doors back and has been in storage with one family since 1969. Mike
