I believe the Cook family did quite a bit of work on this car as well.

Thanks for the link.......I had the pleasure of seeing the car a few years ago when Chrysler was the main sponsor at Meadowbrook. What a fantastic job of packaging. :cheers: J.B.

Cook did the resto and did an amazing job. Its not over restored, it looks like it did many years ago. I went to the unveiling , it was vary kool. Saw the car sitting over at Westech a few years earlyer before Cook got it and it was hurtin.

Mike Cook did do a lot of work, if not most of it on the restoration, He has shown me pictures of it in his shop. There was even a write up in a magazine with pictures of it there.
