One of the best designs in automotive history never to make production (until now ) IMO.

And two gents from Indiana made it all from scratch makes it even more special. How's the chassis and drive train on that car? Is it already all restored and ready or are you going to paint it first and then start working on the rest of the car?

What color will the interior be? Do you guys have all the window trim figured out?

Keep up the hard work and the updates coming!

Mike Terry

I have bought almost all new parts for the chassis and as soon as the car is out of the garage and off to paint we will pull the chassis in the garage, finish stripping it. After it is all stripped the off to the sand blaster it goes and after that then off to powder coating. That will all happen in one day (the sandblasting and powder coasting) then bring it back to the shop. Next would be to put the chassis back together. The motor will be built and transmission as well, they will be set into the chassis and hooked up and tested before the body is set. As for the window trim, we have some already and the rest is being made right now. The interior color will be a two tone. It will be Crystal Red Metalic and Cream all custom color and custom made to be as close to the real interior as we can get it. As it is, everything is planned out step by step in order for the flow of the build to be smooth and on time with other things needing to be done. As for right now we still need to finish sanding the backside of the trunk (trunk lid support) and then make a mold off of it then make the part for the car from the mold, so there is work to be done there. Also attach the new support part to the backside of the trunk and get it to fit as it should bad sanded smooth. Then the next big step will be to fit and mount the power windows in the doors and get them working and get the clearance that we need for them to operate and clearance for the doors to open and close. Then attach the outer door skins and cut in the doors for clearance. That is the next big things that will happen in the next couple weeks to come. Yes Jay we will keep taking pic and posting them along with the updates of work being done.
