Hi Guys thought i might put up one of my projects for everyone to look at. The car is a late 57 (big window) been stored for 30+ yrs, the car is remarkably clean and neve been smacked, minor rust but nothing structural. Since taking these pics of the tear down it has been removed from the pan put on a trolley and media blasted. The plan is to respray in 2k,(Anthracite) dechromed, rewired,1 piece glass conversion and transfered onto my 69 IRS pan. I have built a 1968 (92x74) with a single 44 kadron kit already so it shouldnt take long once the body is painted. Wheels will be 17x7.5 Porsche twist rims in 2k black..Narrowed front and drop spindles Should be a nice driver, will Keep you all posted once the body work starts. Cheers Paul Adelaide
