Actually Joe Mania has the Richart tooling now - I've discussed this with him recently, he says he is thinking about a run, but not in the near future.
I picked up a couple of shells from Bob Thon and will be attempting to do a correct roof and details on the power car/trailer (will have them at SGMA breakfast in their current state). Some of you guys remember the ones that Serg Sanchez and Bob Thon ran at Syracuse in 2010. These are the same bodies. And they are metal. We'll see how it goes, I might try and do a run.
