Ok fella's, here's some information on this Beautifull SE90P-013 Chevy Spice GTP.
This Spice has most likely the best history of any spice GTP out there.
I'm going to post here the official IMSA driver's log of this car's driver's. A list that I have never for any one single race car ever seen before or to date. Now If I'm wrong, then by all means let me know. Here's a tiny bit of history of this #33 and it's sister #65.
The #33 was a TK ( Tommy Kendall) purpose built car, as was the #65. The 33 being the 1st of the two Spice car's until TK 's Chevy Intrepid was built and ready for him.
Now the Driver line up for this #33. Oh yes, she held the Watkins Glen Track record for 10 year's, set by F1 driver....Perry McCarthy. His first seat time, and out qualified TK!
Driver's : Bernard Jourdain, Jeff Kline, Tommy Kendall, Jay Cochran, Al Unser Jr,Perry McCarthy,John Andretti, Wayne Taylor,James Weaver, Justin Bell, Andy Wallace,Jan Lammers,Derek Bell and Collen Trueman. This was a 3 year period before the car was retired. If that ain't Cool, and very historical as well.
 
here's the project, and bro needs some partner's w/ $ to finish and go racin with.
you can see where this is all headed.

Sure is , he has a really great shop, and WHY in Gods name he stay's in Tenn is beyhond me.
Not that anything is wrong with Tn., it's beautiful, and it's the place for the Good ole boyz like daryle and Kenny, and leave me not forget, Mikey waltrip. But for road racing, he couldn't be further removed.
He loves teaching at the high performance College of NADC, but I don't know, having a shop like his, , for the the type of racing he does? well ??????????
 
Oh yeah, I'm sure you fella's would like to see those chassis in the pictures, as finished
car's wouldn't you?
well, here they are:thum_9284a216d4f82fc8.jpgthum_9284a216d6330041.jpgthum_9284a216dd08f88b.jpg

Come on you guy's you must have some questions right?

Man I gotta tell ya that pic of your open chopped roadster is just so cool.
I mean I can smell the raw fuel as your taking your foot off the pedal in that picture. Big ole hooker's blaring, or were they Tunnel tubes?
Where's the pic? Road Atlanta or Mid Ohio?

those aren`t Hookers, they are $1700 worth of hand built triple step headers...that`s the parade lap from the il-fated 2005 BRIC (pre crash of course) at Road America.
 
Well, I got none of that right now did I. Road America OK. And that figures about the Hooer's, never could get a Hooker right. Story of my life. Beautiful Vette though.
I need to build you that vette in model form.
Have built about every Vette racer a model of their car, you deserive no less.
Send me some pic's, engine, and interior shot's as well. [email protected]
