Chassis 1032 Restored and Back Home

[Adam C.]

My buddy Paul took hundreds of hours of film during the restoration of 1032. Here is a 1hr edit that he made for our annual movie night.
Sadly Paul passed on, and this is all I have of his footage.

The 1966 Holman & Moody Le Mans car were all painted in "metalic" colors, copper, bronze........

When they got to Le Mans, they found that just like the Shelby cars, during dusk and at night, it was very hard to tell them apart. A copper car looked very similar to a bronze car, the dark blue Shelby car looked very similar to the black P1046.

I understand they sent someone out to get some bright spray paint and they then added the somewhat strangly shaped color patch to the nose and side of several of the cars.

Hence for historical reasons we are faced with these somewhat odd paint schemes!

There is another recent interview with Lee Holman on youTube where the story of the dayglow paint is told firsthand by Lee. Its mostly correct as above, but the paint was applied for Daytona or Sebring if I remember the interview correctly.

Where is the link for that video please? Also does the Indy museum own 1032 or is it on loan? Saw it there a couple of years ago.

@christian.39 thanks for posting those videos on YouTube. I’m slowly getting through them. They are awesome. Probably going to have to watch them a number of times to take in all the details in full.

The last 'Original' Tennant (Panels) Ltd. replacement chassis', rather than anything by Abbey Panels from the 1960's.
