Many of the measurements had quite a bit of variation in them. Also, Mike's chassis was a copy of an S/C and I didn't have those subtle variations so I needed that chassis as well.

Are you and McClusky still friends?

Oh yes. I talk to him all the time.

Yeah, I would have thought he would have done(signed) all the MSO's when these cars were originally announced 20 years ago.
It's not hard to sign MSO's. I do think they were actually signed by Carroll. I just don't think Joe would use an autopen. It isn't his style.
