Title: My favorite car at the Boss Nationals
Post by: Bob Gaines on August 27, 2021, 08:59:18 PM
This car got me a little emotional because it reminded me of a lost friend 2 months ago today. Mike Heinemann's Boss 429 day 2 car.

You know, it's been hotter than the hinges of hell here in the mid-atlantic and when I take the XR7-G out for it's routine exorcize in this heat I think of Chris and the fan clutch I got from him - keeping the temps down on my 390.

What a positive force he was within the hobby - and continues to be even after his passing.

A friend had some handcut white stripes on his black 70. I love to see some gold ones against that green.

Here are some more photos of the event.

It really hits you to see it in print like that.  I miss him as well.

Bob, what was/is the KK number? I sold KK1987 a number of years back. Had Jen/Jac do a frame off. Took about 9-10 months. If this is it, I have the cd on the resto.

I don't know KK but Mike got it from long time owner Wayne Curry.

Thanks for posting Bob. Chris will always be sorely missed by everyone that knew him, such a unique individual.

My car is KK1660, has not been restored. Could use it but that's for the next guy, I like to drive the hell out of it!
