1969 David Pearson #17 Holman Moody Ford Torino Cobra Talledega, is it the same car as the one in my banner?

Here's the original that I used for my banner above, it must be the following car... just different graphics due to circumstances Holman Moody prepared Ford's first purpose-built NASCAR racer, the Torino Talledega, for Pearson, who won 11 races and his third championship.

MIckey Thompson's 1969 Mustang he used to break 295 speed and endurance records

The Lawman, Boss 429 Mustang that AL Eckstrand brought to the USO tours during Vietnam to take the troops mind off the war for a moment

Isn't improving the design of an existing car just filtering their design with your critical appreciation? I notice the hood is an improvement over the advertisement board example

toy hauler

Not sure where the ramp is to get that off road toy down to the ground, but a good way to show off your company craftsmanship

Dois this look good because of the red white and blue? Or the bare metal with grinder marks?

The huge wagon wheels under that body look pretty damn good too.
