Dale leads the way to the former body shop, explaining that it was built in 1973. This building previously housed extensive metal fabrication equipment and was where much of the bodywork and painting for race cars was done. He mentions that they often had to repair severely damaged cars and prepare them for upcoming races, sometimes having only a week between events. He points out an old bumper from one of their trucks, recalling its use in preparing various race cars.
Goal: Explore the former body shop and understand the processes of car body fabrication and repair.
