Thanks Greg. I still love looking at all the details in this car. There was a ton of stuff that went into the suspension and under hood work that you really couldn;t see once the nose went on. And that still has to be one of the best looking motors that we have ever done. Getting rid of all the accessories on the front of the motor jsut gave it a bitchen, clean look.

There was always a limit on what could be done to the car because of the convertible top and side windows needed to seal up to the windshield. After driving the car for a year, the owner said that he had only put the top up once and never rolled the windows up. So, he decided to get rid of them and finish the car off the way he had always envisioned it. Everything else on the car was built as a period inspired dry lakes race car. The new custom duval style windshield will give the car the look it deserved originally.
