I should note that I happen to know Mr. Shrewsberry and that he himself told me of how he steered the car via the brakes and about the restoration of the modeling subject. I'll try and get photos and other biographical info soon. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 06:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
He was known professionally as "Wild Bill" and all of his cars were painted with his name in that fashion...but that makes a heck of a good redirect.--PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:07, 12 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I can't help but feel this article needs some work. In the decade since this was last significantly edited the standards for Wikipedia articles must have changed a bit. It has no sections, no image or infobox, limited citations in no clear style, and possible issues with original research. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 17:42, 18 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
