Yuppers. I'm nosey like that. Me and Gene were discussing the colors of paint on the rear bezels on Jim's green Daytona. I believe that one side was showing some red, and I forget what the other side was showing through.

I think the other one is just black. I remember that from one of the Lichfield meets a couple years ago.
it's amazing how bad survivor daytonas look. the Malcolm's paint job is awful--Creative cut the paint in 3/8" below the body line and you can see it the whole way down. the overspray, the sanding marks...

On Saturday night, we gave an award in Joe's honor. The crystal "flame" plaque was presented to Jim McCauley (3-Daytona). The award didn't have to do with Jim's cars, but more with his spirit and ability to overcome some physical problems that might have driven others away from the hobby. Anyone who knows Jim, knows that it is impossible to keep him down. His wife Delma shown with him here is a big part of things. I can tell you that there was nary a dry eye in the place and Jim received a standing ovation. I think Joe would have liked this.
