    The photos are a little dark...at times....but you can see the 4 bar bar, the coil cans on the rear and the rear crossmember and the " C " notch.

    The 4 bars are polished stainless and are covered to protect them ....

    :)

    This was a wonderful story to share...persistance paid off in this case. The old ribbed wheels brought back some good memories.....I have had my 5w for about the same amount of time of the full story, and am real glad that I never got rid of it at some weak moment...glad yours is back in the family.

    We're absolutely thrilled to have it back. I've been talking with a few members (drhotrodmd and dueceroadster) to get some recomendations on setting up the ch***is. It still hasn't fully set it that the car is in my garage.
    How could you not love a face like this...

    neat... i find it interesting that so many years later your pop and the same kid who baught the coupe were again wheeling and dealing. these old cars are odd.

    Josh, Russ Weber has owned every car he has built at least twice before he did something with them. Ha Ha Ha

    I was up in Seymour Tuesday to see Greg and Joe. It was kind of early though and I didn't think you were home yet to see your cream puff.

    We're planning on plucking the body off fairly soon to make storage a little easier. But the body should be out there for awhile or until pops sells his car and makes some room in his garage.

    Awesome story.

    Boy was she ever the looker with the Raders beck in her day.

    You got real lucky, many, many more went to the crusher in better shape than that.

    All the best to you.
