Good to know.
I think all we can go by at this point is that Joe Algieri said that he sold off the nose, it was in sad shape and I think he said it was acid dipped. I'm not familiar with the racing classes the car campaigned in and whether they required stock sheetmetal, and for example if Bill was making changes all the time for competitive advantage.
If anyone is a good friend of Joe, maybe they could ask him more about that as well as the chassis configuration at time of sale. When I contacted him I was just another person who he didn't know who asked him a dozen questions in rapid fire.
I got a strong lead to someone who might know the car's history after 1980, we'll see if he calls me back. It's tricky to contact strangers and the older they are the more guarded they are. I'd safely assume the promotion of another car as the genny IV would make someone even more guarded if they don't care for drama.
