Yes it was very frustrating.
The chute and wheelie bar were removed before I sold it and put on my next project at the time, a 1971 Mustang 351 Cleveland, which I drag raced for many years. The chap I sold it to, Roy took it to a few shows and won them all which again was frustrating for me but really my fault for not doing the same. However I always build the cars for me not to show. The boot was relined in ali at the time of the tubbing so no muck gets through.
I will say from what I saw, the work done by this Reg chap did seen to be of a very high standard.
