As mentioned in a previous Post, Alan Miller has picked up an authentic discarded Lee Roy Yarbrough front end. If you were at the 2016 Talladega Family Reunion here at our home you may have gotten the opportunity to see it first hand. If not here are some photos for you to drool over. Does anyone else have some cool wall art they would like to share with the rest of us regular mortals?
If so send some photos to rfleener@comcast.net and we will try to post them here as well.

Great find, and an amazing display!
I got it from Tom Wilson . Tom was after the fenders .He got the fenders and the front end .I had to do some wheeling and dealing to get it . I’m very honored to own such a great piece of history . The last photo is where Tom found it .The guy that had it before Tom had it on the wall .
Hello. Alan, this is such great reference for the development of the Talladega on the superspeedways. As I am building a scale model of the Talladega, and correcting some proportional issues with the model, I came here to get good reference. Can you confirm that this bumper overall width, as well as the grille width fender to fender, is less wide than the OEM car? When looking at the 98 stock car in the photo above, and the piece that you have on display, the fenders look nicely cheated and the bumper and grille less wide. The bumper distance between the fastener bolts are not the same as the 98 photo! Would be nice to look to see if the bumper was channeled between the outer two and single bolt. Thank you for your time. Love looking at this site.
