Wayne,
There is another funny story that David Pearson told about when they went to go through their inspection. The left front of their car was 2" to low and they were trying to figure out how to get it to pass. Back then there was just one inspector and he had some sticks that were the height of the top of the car, the front at each corner and the back. So they had a crew member with steel toed boots stand and they drove the cars left front up onto his boot. That made it high enough but when the inspector came around to measure that corner he pushed the crew member to get him out of the way. Pearson said it was like one of those weighted toys that you push over and it pops back up. The crew member couldn't move, the inspector had a fit and screamed at them, and after that no one was allowed to be closer than 10 to the car while he was making his checks.
