Fast Freddie won his first important Nascar race in the spring of 1961 at Darlington by beating Curtis Turner after a spirited battle for the lead and win. As a result of this race the sign on Freddies dash saying "Think! W.H.M."? was put there by car owner Ralph Moody after he had a discussion with Lorenzen before the Rebel 300 how to race against Turner, but it seemed to take Fred a while before he followed Moody's advice and got by Turner for the win. I put the sign on my 1963 Fred Lorenzen Ford. I believe the sign stayed there for as long as Lorenzen raced for the organization.

Very nice Ford, Mark !

You put on every detail, even the wire for the trap door
to check the tread of the right front tire.
The #28 on the tunneau cover looks great.

Well done  8)  8)

Great job Mark! As usual, your attention to detail is excellent.

Beautiful build Mark, really like the details you have incorporated.
When I win the Powerball I will switch to the real ones.
