The bent one looks like a Direct Connection relocation bracket and the straight one looks stock.

Didn't those originally come in Vans?

That sure looks like a circle track car of some sort?

Kit car?

Cup car?

Light pastel blue with fancy texture/lines in it. work

Its a 69 race car, been trying to id certain replacement parts for restoration, they used various stock parts from different vehicles. This is just a reference photo I took of buddy bakers Daytona.

Is it a Nichols Eng car?

I have the 74 Petty parts catalog. Not sure if or how many parts carryover from when Nichols had the program.

Have you asked Doug S. (aero426) ?

Doug is aware of the car, and there is a ton of differences on all of these cars, taking all into account and going with what we have to make it as accurate as possible.
