Butch has been reassembling the motor on this one, including a custom made aluminum gasket to compensate for gap in the timing chain. Now that it's together it has been mounted on the frame. |
|
Bob has been working out the detailed contours on the doors and side panels using some advanced routing and jig techniques to achieve perfect results. Jamie pitched in to knock the aluminum panels true so Bob could get the proper profiles and mock-up the fit. |

Clark fitted these custom made pipes last week including the bypass manifold |

This one is on the fast track with Paul and Clark finishing disassembly this week and Jack has already painted many of the removable parts. Paul is finishing the rolling chassis prep and Jack continues to sand and paint what's left. Jeff got the leather hides today for the interior and has started on the seat templates. |
|
The ash doors and trunk section have been filled, bleached and sanded, awaiting stain. Bob will be using a custom dye stain to finish these sections followed by several clear coats to seal and preserve the wood. |
|
Jamie has been finishing the disassembly of the second of two cars that will be combined to complete this challenging restoration. The motor disassembly is in progress at the moment. |
