Thanks Lee... I am hoping that I can help with some direction and parts to help bring these cars into the mainstream view of classic cars. I will be happy to answer any questions your members may have, because this has been a learning experience for me also. I am doing things on this car I or others have never done before, so I will be happy to share info. I am a one man show, and have to perform everythning your see with tools that most car people have in their garages, so some of the work may appear to be a bit crude.. So far, it is looking some hammer and dolley work will blend everything fine.

I am working on getting this crossmember system to be offered for sale by a reputable parts company. I am sending them my unit, once it is done, so they can set up for prduction if the interest is there. I have a few guys talking to me about building some more of these cars for them, so I would like to have certain parts available off the shelf. Since mid-feburary of this year, I have had over 800,000 views of the build pics, and you couldnt believe how many people didnt realize this car existed in factory form or custom form.

Well I got the other front and rear wheel arch put in place today, and it actually seems like they came out pretty even. I will have some final hammer and dollying out, but they are within a 1/16th inch, so that should work out great..

Just noticing in this post how much the Fins and rear Arch has really changed the car.. I have gotten used to the difference now, and it just seems that is the way it always was.. ha ha I guess I need to purchase an original car to keep around and maybe take to shows with me, since we dont have too many of theses at our local car shows and events..
