Sometimes it helps to google races from the year you're interested in. Videos and pictures from the various tracks may help you with some obscure pictures that aren't represented in the Arrington search.

thanx
be sure all that is done yet, with no success.
I never ask at Randy's BEFORE having made my own serious research.

i wanted to know if some of you could have a pic of the Hood markings ( Reid's Trailers logo) and deck + bottom readable picture .
all the others are identified
thanx for help

That's a cool looking paint scheme. What year is this car.

Found a black-and-white shot of Buddy's Magnum
- not sure what year - when the body had been re-painted. Can't get it to load properly on here, but if you click on this link you can see it.

Found this shot from the 1978 Firecracker 400.



And this one looks like it's from the '78 Daytona 500:



From 1979:

Sois serieux, ma grande.

A man of your self-professed calibre should be able to take these suggestions and make great progress.

Other than the fine script at the bottom, it is quite easy to read the hood details. The trunk, clairement, reads PAGODA MOTEL.

Source image is here. Punch it:

Bonne chance avec ton projet.
