Hi Tim,
Thank you! If you remember, I destroyed the buck after I was done with the body formation. I can always make another if I ever need to, or even sections of it since it’s all in a CAD file and able to be sectioned for say, a fender or a nose cone. Plus, knowing what I know now, there would be no need to go as far as I did with the formation. It can remain just the wooden cross section with no need for foam filling and sculpting. ![]() ![]() Looking forward to meeting you this year! Cheers Dave |

I forgot you destroyed the buck, shipping would be a nightmare as you said.

![]() Hardtop formation continues! The latch mounts are welded in, so now I just need to screw in the guide pins and I can then finish the bodywork on it for now. I'm finishing up the A-Pillar interior trim with the receiving latch hardware, rearview mirror, and sun visors. The visors are a dual pivot design which really only block the sun if it's directly in front of you at about the 10:00 position. Other than that, they just seem to not do much of anything. But I gotta have them! ![]() Of course, I had to put on the license plate on the back. ![]() More to come.... Cheers Dave PS: interestingly, we bought a new BMW X4 yesterday and I received a discount for brand loyalty after I showed the sales guy a photo. Interestingly enough more than that, he didn't know what a 507 was, but the manager sure did! Of course, the sales guy couldn't drive a stick either, so that explained a lot ![]() |

After seeing what you've done with the creation of this masterpiece, I have no choice but to voluntarily turn in my "man card", give away all my tools and I will never again stand to pee ... I no longer feel worthy of the title "man".
Unfortunately this won't be news to my wife. On the plus side, I guess I get to golf from the ladies tees now. If I hadn't seen the build pics of this car, I honestly would not have believed it. Absolutely incredible work. |

Geeze, that's quite flattering but I wouldn't go that far!
![]() X4 Mark, not Z4. They've goofed up just about every style car they offer except the 8 series (over $100k) or the 2 series (too small for those big goofy grilles). Here's the new buggy! No hybrid, no electric, no battery, just twin-turbo ozone depleting fun! ![]() Cheers Dave |

I’ve been following this build from 6/18 and still amazed at your vision/creation Dave!
I can’t wait to see it at MCACN. Congratulations on ALL of your accomplishments. Truly amazing. I’m not ready to turn in my man card though………….
