Bob's
shops in Wilton and Georgetown CT, and as far as I remember thay always
started with stock cars. I even remember that they acquired some "salt
damaged" cars from Nissan. These were cars damaged by seawater on the trip
over, and could not be sold as street cars.

OK, OK, I can't stand it any longer...I've got to let it out of the bag! Les
Canaday and I went back to Indiana last May and picked up two 1968 Roadster
racecars. One of them is one of Bob Sharp's "salt damaged" race cars with a
very significant race history! BTW the cars weren't really damaged (but don't
tell anybody). It's one of only 5 high-window race cars Bob built.
It took quite a while to gather the complete documentation and race history
on the car but as soon as I get the photos back I'll tell the whole
story...promise :-)
