Better than the original and I hope it did not nearly bankrupt you like it did BMW.

"Next up will be A-Pillar trim, top latches, rear view mirror, sun visors, inner door panels and side glass, convertible top bow alteration, and I'll make a Hardtop. Anything else?"

What will you do after lunch?

Thank you guys! Bill, I’m speechless you’re speechless!

Fortunately, it was pay-as-you-go through this build and while not exactly cheap (and I’m nowhere near done yet!), no bankruptcy plans. I actually set up a Go Fund me account and left coffee cans with “Help” written on them around the local parts houses. That helped considerably. $11.33 was collected since the start of the project! Just kidding. It was more like $15.25

More to come!

Cheers
Dave

Honestly, it's pretty crazy to see how you created something so cool out of nothing. I can't imagine the pride you have pulling something you created entirely out of the garage and hearing it running. Just amazing, not sure what else to say.

Seats are back! Been a little busy with a couple side projects. Built a carport addition to the shop and an will be starting an RV conversion on a Sprinter van for Kelly. Hmmm, maybe that needs a thread?

So more updates later this month on the 507. But in related news, it looks like the BMW V8 Club of Germany will run my article in their magazine! Really honored about that! I'm internationally known now!

Cheers
Dave

Selling Saturday! This went across the stage in Kissimmee earlier this year for $1.7mil. Dealer flip! Hopefully it finds a forever home. I’m about $1.69mil short!

Cheers
