Default C2 coupe birdcage

First lower birdcage after power coat. The spare rails will be for a
stainless steel one we are going to try in the near future.
Upper birdcage will be a mixed composite with steel inserts for the
dash and firewall to Z bar support rods.


Will post more pictures during assembly

Yes complete from scratch all made in house. There are two sets of
the front hinge and rear latch towers going into restomods and the
feedback has been positive.


Making the firewall and pedal assemblies next , should have this all
together with the vintage air setup using the original ductwork and
switch locations , will post more pictures.

Are you selling these? If so, I'm scared to ask how much. They do look beautiful.

Here's what a complete birdcage looks like. Coupe first, then convertible:

Very impressive! Next thing we know, someone will rebuild the old assembly plant in St Louis and we'll crank out new C-2's. Progress exceeded by talent. Dennis

Did you do a stainless one? What stainless are you using?

Is there any way to directly contact you? It does not look like you accept PMs here on the forum.

He hasn’t posted in almost 3 years so you may need to hunt down the address of his shop to get an answer to that question.

He has not even logged on the forum since 10-05-2020. Maybe COVID got him, let's hope not.
