Scott,
Back in November I actually talked to Bub Faubel at Bruce Larson's Dragfest ,through the course of the conversation,that subject was actually mentioned and from what Bud had talked about and discussed,I would guess that the information is correct.

Don Fezell is about 60 mi from me,he has one of the cars,not sure which one.
