Smokey Yunick was a hero back then!””
One year, Smokey spent the winter building a 7/8 size car. Everyone at Daytona kept looking at it & not seeing what he had done.
That is when the manufacturer’s templates came into use.
It was a beautiful car—just 7/8 size.
He was such a kick! Soaking body panels in acid to make them thinner and lighter. Using thinner glass for the same reason. What a blast!
