When I was collecting parts to build my vette, the man I was getting the parts from was fixing a body of an original Cheetah racecar. Dick used to race SCCA and this car was one of his friends that was in the SCCA as well. I remember thinking how in the heck would you get in and out of that thing. Haha It was very cool to actually see one. I didn't realize then how scarce original ones were. Dick was also tasked to put a corvette fuelie engine back in it. He had many of those setting on his row of shelves in his basement. Sadly, it is all gone now.Ryan
