Dave Strickler drove Chevys in the '60s for the Ammon Smith Auto Co.

Previously, I built the '69 Camaro campaigned in SS/C. That inspired me to acquire the kit of the '62 409 Bel Air.

Strickler won the SS/S class at the '62 Nationals, beating Hayden Proffitt, who won Top Stock Eliminator the next day.

This is the AMT kit built OOB.

4-speed, dual quad, Posi Traction 409!

This is how they ran in the SS/S final. I built the Proffitt 409 many years ago.

Smith/Strickler "Old Reliable" from '62 and '69. So much development in seven years!

Very cool! Now you need to build Strickler's Corvette Bronze '68 Z/28.B)

The thought had crossed my mind after reading about it in the Super Stock book. The decal sheet I got from Mike's has white decals for this car.

Thanks for the inspiration.
