Hey Jeff..
Are you *sure* you are supposed to be posting pics of the car?? LOL
I thought he was being somewhat secretive about it.

Oops.. Anyway, Scott said it was cool, and this car threw off my paint schedule this week.

Someone had asked about the engine. What power plant is that? And would you have the balls to make a mould of them rear fends for a small fee? I would be gald to forward the $$$ for the materials and laybour.
Sorry, kinda feel ethically wrong on that demand since it is his own look and that makes his extra special.

The cowl is welded to the fender and the center grill is gone. Both wiper 'dimples' are gone and replaced with a single center wiper.
JMDAZED, how f-ed up were the front fenders?

Ask Scott Yeaman if he needed a "bambalance" for this job! He'll get it....
What a great guy to hang out with at the track!

That's a cool car! Wait, it's sitting in my driveway!
Scott's crew did a great job, I just wish I brought it to him earlier.
The project's no secret, my daughter broke my camera a couple of months ago and I've been sort of too busy on the car to be online and posting.
Club members will photograph it at the show to post...

Felix, are you going to be with the car most of the time or is there a particular time we can catch you during the week? Hope you can join us for dinner Thursday night.... amazing project.

you know, not to be bitchy or anything, but after all you already went through with that car and all you're going to do to it,
are you just going to leave the engine comp and trunks all ratty?
how about the underside of the car?

The cowl was Mark's fine work and done at my house, thank you! For those who don't know, Mark did alot of great welding and fabrication on this car in Napa
