Trying to get back in the groove. I just had carpal tunnel surgery and am still recovering. I took Ed's famous masterpiece and made a few changes. I cut off the front and scratch built the grill and headlights(not shown). The stance and wheels are not the ones I will use, I'm just testing. I may keep the huge rear tires. I wil change the interior and use a small block Chevy engine. Yes the bubbletop will stay. I still have to tighten up the body and maybe add a few things. Not sure of colors yet. we are still in preliminary stages here. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it so far. Dave     |

Did some more on this. Changed the rear wheels, I'm not sure about the front wheels. I still need to adjust the stance a bit. I added a firewall and started to do more bodywork. I put in the engine to see how it sat. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it. Dave     |

Thanks for the prayers and health encouragement and I'm glad you like the build so far.
My hand is about 100% improved over what it was. I may need the other one done next year.
