Unreal Dave! You are an inspiration to us all. Not only for taking on a monumental task but seeing it through to a high level.

Looking good, Dave. I hope to see the finished car.

I've always hoped someone would reproduce the Bill Mitchell 1959 race car, one of the most beautiful cars ever built. I'm sure there are a number of C1 chassies out there with all the Restomods being built.

Is that the same one that Elvis drives at the end of his one movie with the racing boats, Clambake?

That would be my dream. Dave is my inspiration.

Oh, I get it Bill. It’s the main reason that I don’t want to build one, but they’re still pretty cool cars! I’d do the street version with no scoop, no side pipes, no rollbar. This would be an easier fun build. I’m looking at A&C Autos kit. They have some REEEEEALLY nice kits. Of course, and ERA Slabside would be fun too.

I appreciate the compliments on my 507 guys. I’m glad my tinkering might inspire others to go after that dream car no matter how far fetched it may seem. We only go around once (that I’m aware of) so might as well fulfill some car dreams along the way! It’s almost to the finish line and I’m excited.

Tim, dare I have TWO Elvis cars?:burnout: That’s a pretty cool ride!

Cheers

Elvis cars could be your theme, Dave.

Cobras always get the "kit" question. Your BMW will probably never get that question.

When I had my Scarab, nobody ever asked if it was a "kit", nobody knew what the heck it was.

Slab side is too similar to what you just mastered. With A&C, you could build a replica '49-50 lead sled, or a chop top '35 Chevrolet coupe, etc. Just don't build another '32-34 Ford, they are everywhere too, like Cobra kit cars...:laugh:
