Anyway, he was telling me that there will be an article about the missile with pics of it in it's current condition.. Hot Rod Magazine ran the original article ( if memory serves me right) and is now following the restoration. I don't know exactly when it's coming out but thought I would give you all a heads up. I hear they are still working on the wire car in California.

So when are some of the old Missile guys going get together with some of the younger whipper-snappers and teach them a few new tricks. It sure would be nice to see somemore old & new Missile race cars in super-stock and in the pro-stock ranks again.

Dick was working on the wire car...don't know what stage it is at right now.He mentioned that they were doing work on it and he would be there at some point... I am a bit out of the loop...

I spoke to him a couple years ago...he sold it to Mark, my ex, it was called the Isostatic Rebound then. He regrets selling it now but who knew all these old fella cars would come back in a big way? Nice to see the pics as I asked him for some at the time and we never did get any.. I will email them to Dick if you don't mind. I'm sure he would love to see them!
