Well look at that ! It's got doors, it's got fenders, it's got a hood and a trunklid !!

Pretty cool Alex ! Can't wait to see it when it is painted...

I especially like your vert/split deck lid with the vents: very rare!
Nice, congrets.

Just do a little most days and eventually the car is finished. I skipped most days and it took me about 9 years...

Hey Wally,

to tell you the truth.....this is not a vert decklid. It is my origianl decklid with the vert grills welded into it.

Looks good though doesn't it?

Too bad that I actually do not have any crotch coolers for my crotch cooler split.

Oh well.....
