just got off the phone with Dick Tillinger, who used to crew for Dave
Manzolini. he verified that the car has an FIA frame but doesn't know anything
else as far as lightweight stuff. I've never seen a picture of the car as it
was raced, and he tells me there is a book called "How to modify Datsun
510,610, and 240Z engine and chassis" put out by HP books, authors Bill Fisher
and Bob Wahr, that has a picture of the car in an action sequence at
Bridgehampton on page 19. it is car #19. does anyone happen to have a copy of
this book they'd like to part with? Dick was crewing for the 510 at the time
the photo was taken.
