'66 1600 Rebuild.. lots o pics!

[eye]

I've seen the car in person and it is awesome. Subtle details that take a boatload of time and talent to do are everywhere. The body is laser straight and the way your body guy sharpened the body lines is really nice. Most wouldn't notice that detai because there is so much more to see.
You haven't even mentioned the chassis and suspension. Your guys were nice enough to put it on the left for me to see.Sweet.

Door panels...now I see where the chalk marks on mine came from. LOL
Congrats and thanks again.

We were honored to receive the Mother's Polish Choice Award for the Roadster at SEMA, shocked and thankful for all of the love, support, and attention this build received.

Congratulations on your achievements, car looks awesome! Love the low windscreen and the interior. Great stance. Hate the exhaust, but I bet I'm in the minority on that. You should be proud.

Thank you so much! Yea the exhaust is like the headlights, just for fun

Thank you! We use PPG paint, no ceramic coat, just a lengthy wet sand a polish

I'm on the fence more and more after spending some time looking at the car, still undecided about the side trim at this point haha.

I, like greydog prefer side trim, but also agree that this car does not need it. If it were mine the only change I would make would be to a less noticeable resonator. Alas, it's not mine, but yours and built the way you envisioned it. Well done!

Thanks Mike!

Now the car is back from SEMA I'll post some more detailed photos of everything like the suspension and underbody shots. Just wish the weather was nicer so I could enjoy it a little more!

Wow.. amazing and unique build. Congrats on this! I hope to take a bit of inspiration from this car

Spectacular work!

Just found your build thread here... I love the speedster look of your roadster... are you thinking of producing the lexan low profile windshield for sale and the vent window cover pieces?

I have my 67.5 windows off for refreshing the rubber trim, but would love a speedster 'conversion' kit I could bolt on for summer car shows

current condition of my 67.5:
