That be a 1962 Austin Healey Sebring 5000 right??? Love them Healeys. Then again it has Bristol features.

Can I play?

Early 50's Nash Healey?

.... Ok try a kit car that was in like 4 pieces of broken and missing areas of fiberglass when we got it. It's actually a 1953 glasspar gt2 with the Nash grill, I believe there was 6 made with that grill, the number is 4-8 actually , and a total of about 100 made.

Really dig the project and glad to see another bird! I will send you info on the grille, I know a company in CA that does them, and I believe they are not too pricy and are well made (actually metal not plastic). Steve has a set on his Firebird currently mocked up and in process.

I did something similar on my wife's Firebird, modified front fenders, grafting 69 louvers and shaved the rear louvers.


I dig the color choice, I believe ZVT was planning on a white pearl of sorts, so some inspiration (not mine):

BTW where are you located?

Here are a couple pics I found I had of Steve's in progress bird. I believe he ordered the grilles from the guy in Southern CA, but I will dig whatever contact I can find. The grilles are nicely made from what I remember.

I'm in Oregon portland area, I have talked to zee (the guy who did the concept). I'm painting my car a Lexus starfire pearl. (Tri coat) that would be awesome to have his contact information on tr grill!! I like the first pic you posted slammed in the dirt! The interior color is something I have been pondering too, as in I like the color in the pic, looking at the Lexus Color, but prolly will be going with a BMW or Mercedes Leather. Thanks for the help.

Hi, will be glad to help. I will check teh ocntact in Southren CA, but Steve may have the contact and info since he ordered the grille not long ago. I hav seen in person and it is very well made, I think the guy also makes it in black if not mistaken.

The bird in white pearl on the picture I believe was done by Quarter Mile Muscle.
http://www.quartermilemuscle.com but I do not have much info on it.

On my vert with the 69 grafted fenders I have the Lexus white pearl - note Lexus has several pearl colors; I believe mine is the Starfire or Crystal white IIRC.

Great project ahead, and good luck on the build
