Right after this photo was taken, we signed the contract to build the new shop.  The fiberglass body shell in the ceiling is an original Devin &#8220;widebody&#8221;.  In August of 1990 (I think&#8230;), I met Bill Devin in the pits at a vintage race at Road Atlanta &#8211; I was there wrenching for Bill Terry.  He said he believes it is the largest Devin shell made &#8211; he called it an &#8220;X&#8221; body&#8230;  I&#8217;ve had that since I was 19 &#8211; someday I&#8217;ll get it assembled.  I&#8217;m thinking tube frame, E-Type suspension, 1970 500 cubic-inch Cadillac, and an M-22 Muncie &#8211; I have all that stuff.  Although, I may go with a nailhead Buick just to keep things dated to the early 60&#8217;s.
