...a short way into the project my builder/best buddy died and the project was on hold for many years...then the frame builder died...the body of the car sat in my back yard for years, the kids used the parachute pack as the stike zone while playing baseball, it made a good backstop...we moved and the Funny Car body was left sitting in a field for another decade

...last year I pick up a magazine and my old FC body was in there being reunited with the chassis... turns out is was the 1971 National Champion Candies & Hughes FC...it also raced under a couple of other names, one being "Assasination"

pix...old picture from its glory days...this is the body I owned for about 15 years or so...it sat in my back yard and in a field for a long time...finally rescued last year and reunited with it's original chassis...wish I had known what it was when I owned it...it was painted Plum Crazy and said "CHASE" on the side while in my possession
