Right frame rail 6 inches from the front. On the inside upper portion. Pratt&Miller did a good job of covering it up.Do you have one?

Cool car I would like to see more pictures of it. I saw a few of that car when it was for sale a while ago. I work at Pratt & Miller and there is very little documentation on the world challenge builds.

I saw that car here in SF several years back. If I remember correctly the name on the window was DePippo or something like that. Never seen it on track however. Very early world challenge type build and well done.

No I was not at COTA. I would have liked to have gone. I'm on the Cadillac team. But a friend of mine has a box car not from Pratt & Miller though. It wasn't a very good build. I am going thru it right now making things better it has some of our stuff on it.

Congratulations.....you will have take the radiator out to find it. Here's a good one for you... after removing the entire front clip we looked and saw NOTHING! Almost lost it.... Even looked on the LEFT side (not supposed to be on that side) Pratt&Miller did such a good job the paint entirely obscured the vin by the time we located it my eyes hurt. I finally located a portion of it.And started sanding very very faint. This# is hand stamped in the frame. Will take a picture of what you can see after we reassemble the car.

If I can help you in any way let me know. I will post a pic of the tail end of the vin# that is still viable after we put it ALL back together. On this car the last 6 are still visible.

Thanks. From what I have been told we are keeping the current cars for a while. But I think the old 4 door cars may be avaiiable. Also I know that the Remington cars that McCaan was running were for sale a few years ago. I don't know if they ever sold them. Let me know if you need any help.
