The mid 70s found Paul at Bear Ridge Speedway in Bradford VT. After a short time with a 3 window he unveiled this little gem. Built mostly in the basement of Paul's home this car became a consistent winner at the Ridge grabbing two championships along the way.

Paul built this Gremlin bodied modified intending to challenge some stiffer competition on some bigger and faster racetracks. If you look closely you can see New Hampshire legend Stub Fadden shakin' it down at the Ridge.
