hi, engine is on the frame now, have to make a trans fitting. but now it looks something like that . (sorry bout bad quality)
now the project was stand by a while most of the bodywork is done. firewall and decklid are waiting for attention. I want to make removable weatherproof ragtop. So i tried to make kind of a water drainage system of the top.
Meanwhile. I finished the bodywork, new 2" of lower edges. Then it was first body to frame test and firewall building. Then off again for paintjob...hope you like it. Epoxy - Primered Then layer of filler coat after it. And painted firewall. and fresh paint framing again like & share Todo: Wiring gl***es headlights and stands dash decklid fuel lines seats sealing battery box brake light switch brake pedal pad floor plates Rear shocks reangling if it wont work at that angle. ...
Looks great! But those rear shock absorbers look like they're leaned over way too much to be effective.
i have lift the rear about 3 inch. axle is hitting to frame so badly at moment. and shock angles also..

After watching you do that "donut", I'm sure you'll have lots of people asking!! Your car is a beauty!
I like the kid's "Hot Rod Garage". When my daughter was in elementary school (she's 24 now), she had a school project in which they had to make a diorama of something that benefited their community, and then all the kid's creations were put together to make a city. We did, "Sharon's Used Cars"; I still have that out in my shop, protected on a shelf. It is made mostly from an old shoe box, and Match Book cars/trucks. I can't imagine building a car like yours in Europe; everything is so much more difficult. Good job. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
