To support that...in doing research for my *Sharp Salty* Bob told me that the
only high screen racecars they ever made or ran were the 5 salt damaged cars,
and he doubted the existence of the lightweights--since neither he nor Brock
were ever offered one :-) The 2nd owner, Bill Kattmann said that before the
car's 3rd appearance at the runoffs they did some lightening
though...including among other things, removing many pounds of undercoating.
