Phildaupho Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Being a huge Dan Gurney fan I had to check out your project and find out more about. You are doing a fantastic job on this project and I look forward to seeing it being under glass. Dan was the master of Riverside having won there many times. As has been noted' he had not raced for 10 years. Yet was able to start seventh and work his way up to second before dropping out with transmission problems while running third. The back story is very interesting. There is a good summary on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Gurney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Tim, not sure, but I think I've seen the Superbird before, but its still one of the best I have ever seen done. My memory is funny. I can remember things form the fiftys and sixtys better then I can remember the last couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car was an Osterlund rental Hence the color blue. White substituted for the yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T. Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Great tips here on making the kit body look better! I will certainly use a few on my build. I don’t know about the red stripe either, but there is a red stripe included in the Salvinos JR Bobby Allison 1981 Riverside winner kit also. It is a red stripe for the top of the grille.
