Great job! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an aluminum door handle cover on a car as late as 1987. Especially from a big team like johnson’s. |

Joes, I'm not sure which is more impressive, your model building or your photography. Stunning work. _________________ Dennis

Another stunning build, Jose. The stance is perfect and the underneath of the car is a thing of beauty. |

Jose got it right if he's representing the car from the Champion Spark plug 400.
In that race in '87 the car had the covers as depicted in the very first pic.
At the Miller American 400 at Michigan the same year, the car didn't have the covers. Might have been a time saving thing back at Ingle Hollow. I know that at M.C. Anderson's shop they would tack a plate behind the handle hole and bondo it smooth as they were using OEM door skins.
But Rob is generally correct. The covers were extremely rare after the mid-late '70's.
