Wish I had read this before the invitational! Damn ha!
Well there you go! Haha
You happen to be in QLD man? Apparently there are a couple of hardtops around here now.
I can't believe no one has mentioned the Lopez, Matranga, Marcia Campbell or Larry Ernst cars.

Car's looking great man! If you're really in need of a job you'll get one up here! We're looking for someone like yourself, and we just got a...

Holy crap. Looks like the only thing left of that car is the bootlid and doors. Cool as!
Please keep posting. I've been wanting to build a 28/9 roadster myself, though mine would be alot uglier due to mostly using hand tools.
