Maybe because he can out fabricate about 99.3% of the people who post here!

 

you should get him to bring that sedan to the nostalgia drags in '08, its been over a year since anyone's seen it!

 

I know Paul, I did some work on that car when he bought it from a friend of mine.

Posting for Tim...37coupeute.........HAMBer AMA384 walked away and is now being rebuilt at eastern Creek Sydney as a Toppolino.

 

With the pic Mazdaslam posted of the bare nova fastback. the tops look like fiberglass. I wonder if they started as convertible bodies?

 

Man, such great stuff on this post! I've surely been enjoying it.

I don't have much to add except some dream team drawings I did in the early '70's. I was about 13, & I'd make up race teams using classmate's names or whatever.

Those are cool.

 

and how about some more cars now Ron...

 

I hope this guy doesn't screw up this thread over his little picture. This is the best thread ever.

 

Don't worry Steve,everyone from Jim Kramer to Dick Towers and others who know way more then you or I, know that I'm recreating the car from the parts that are left.I've made it clear that the shell isn't the real deal.Hell if you look at the photos it's obvious.Now get over it and post photos or go away.

 

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.Sorry for the interruption everyone.

 

Sweeeet photos......thanks

 

Cool.

What was the whole reason for the altered wheelbase thing? It seems like they would have been back heavy. Or, did the shortened wheelbase handle the weight transfer better?
