Bill Thomas race cars

[mbxlesney]

I have a couple of questions about Bill Thomas race cars. Did Bill Thomas ever keep records (like Joel Rosen) of cars he may have transformed in the Southern California area. I know he had a deal with Nickey in Chicago but did he do work for any local CA. dealers. I saw he had a cosponsorship deal with Cone Chevrolet in 62-63 era on Hayden Profitts 62 Z11 prior to the Nickey marriage. My L78 Nova came from Cone Chevrolet and had a Bill Thomas race cars decal located on the passenger side rear window that was with a host of other racing parts type decals that was weathered and cracked. Not sure if past owner had work done there or just purchased parts from him. I feel Bill Thomas may have had a hand in helping some of his local clients as well, wether Dyno Tuning to engine transplants to maybe speed parts. Over the years I have collected some repro decals I have a decal that looks like a Nickey only has Bill Thomas and the other I have attached is like the one on my window with the exception that the original attached on the inside of the glass. Seems like this subject is a mystery and would like to learn more about his role in the Southern California area. Anybody have any interesting stories out there concerning this mystery? Please share.
