Thanks - it was a beauty and quite rare as an original (certified) pre-tag body so probably one of the first 100 made. The paint job was a 10-footer at best though & I did re-use the seat frames but the rest of them had been occupied my Mr. & Mrs. Mouse for too long to be saved (mask & gloves required). The build concept was to replicate the traditional poor-surfer builds of the time where every part possible from the donor car was used, rather than a more hot-rod version. Let's face it 40HP in a 1,200lb car is exciting enough!
Unfortunately I was about 85% to completion when I had to sell it last Fall due to losing my workshop & a safe place to park it.
