Hello All.  Its been a longer layover than we were expecting but WE ARE BACK !!!  Dale has been working on the motor and I have been working the car over with some much needed changes.
 I stripped the car down completely to the bare bones and blasted the frame and repaired any rust issues and areas needed of attention, also doing some body mods to make it easer to work on the motor.

I stripped down and blasted the under carriage, rust treated , premiered and painted. I sent the rearend off to John Beck for rebuilt and I completely rebuilt the frontend. Also removed to old front core support and fabricated a new one.

 I am proud to introduce our newest member to the team, some of you may already know him Alex Gambino of Gambino Kustoms. He is one of the best customizers around and he is now on our team. He is repairing all the fiberglass that was damaged in the fire and doing the body mods and paint on the flatcad. Here we are removing the firewall sides for access to the motor.

I am very interested in your progress.  I was involved in the original build and I would like to see it run again.
