    Just a teaser. The aluminum structure for the top is complete (some adjustments made after this picture was taken) and the car is now apart for paint and chassis detailing. Don is planning to do a show-and-tell about building the top, so I won't steal his thunder:

    Great looking top. It looks clean and not too heavy.

    That's the plan. It's going in the paint booth as we speak.

    I'm hopeful that we'll see it painted sometime in November. Then it's off to Mr. Chavers for top and interior, and my fingers are crossed for a debut at the GNRS in January.

    All that sanding pays off. This still needs to be cut & buffed.

    Chassis is nearly together again, with final finishes in place:
    2016.11.4.Chassis4.jpg
    ...and everything that's supposed to be blue, now is:
    02016.11.4.doorsBlue.jpg That was the good news. The bad news is, we're unlikely to debut at GNRS. Del Mar or Santa Maria, probably.
