Everything stock and correct inside and the door panels are 100% stock. Window handles, door actuators are correct too. The large black thing in the middle of the dash is the speaker grille/ cover.

Cheers

I like Dave’s car better, especially the ‘Fudge’ Wheels not seen w/ pic above.

No sale again at $1.4m. This isn't the venue for these cars and the bad part is that this one now has the stigma of a boomerang auction lot. Just keeps circling back. Too bad.

There's 100 miles on the car now, and luckily, only minor items that needed fixing. I turned my attention to the front bumper which I needed to shorten up since it was way too wide. I did that to the back bumper which required about 6" to be taken out. The front needed 8 total. This now fits correctly.

This week I'll install my 2x2 intake and once I know it's running correctly, the disassembly will start for paint and a few other things I still need to fab on. The grille openings need to be massaged to fit the real parts, then all the trim heads to the chrome shop.

I'm in talks with a custom wheel maker to have a set of polished aluminum wheels made. Design will be like the Rudge, but a heck of a lot lighter.

More to come!

Cheers
Dave

Thanks, Steve! I’m probably going to get side tracked with a couple more projects shortly, but progress will continue!

Cheers

Final bodywork starts today! After the 100 mile test drive, I've decided on what needs to be changed and will start ordering those parts.

I'm hoping June/ July for final paint. Been chatting with a few upholstery shops too and one is really excited about doing my car, but it's up in Connecticut. I'd rather have the car local to me (or at least in a short flight range) to check on things when needed.
