I saw Nazi Krate at Beaver Springs this past summer for the York Reunion event/race. I kept in contact with Howie who did the original & the reborn Krate to original lettering and paint design.
Car looked awesome there, weather did not work in favor for the event rained out sunday for the York cars to make a show.
Thanks for the info,
Bobby
