I guess it happens. When I was racing, I never protested anyone even though I knew some were illegal. They protested me several times. No honor among cheaters I guess.

Very nice work Mark!👍 I remember the WIP on the MCM fourm.You did a really good job turning that kit into a race car. I've always thought the 64 Galaxie was a great looking car

Steve, I know cheating is not right but having the engine back a couple of inches doesn't seem like that big of an advantage back then. Rex and Ned were in a tight battle for the championship that year and Ned ended up barely beating Rex at the end of the season. It was Ned's first of two championships. Rex had won the championship in 1960.

Thanks, Catpack for your thoughts on the build and wip. I had one 64 kit that I made a replica of Tom Pistones 64 Ford that he campaigned in 1966. When Amt brought the kit back and sold it at Walmart I snapped up 2 more.
