Wrong! I built those Molds for Codomo the plug as a panel job off a mirrored table ,they were 45' we blocked them off and built 4 or 5 -41' s Joe wound up with the molds Later in a business deal and then to Don Smith.

I have some old pictures that I took as a teenager at the Pt. Pleasant NJ race of Longshot. Good thing I am not a photographer.

Longshot won that race, I cannot remember what year it was.
