Thanks guys! The dealer I got my X4 at expressed interest in having it in display. Not sure I want to do that, but we’ll see!

Cheers
Dave

Dave, and you know that nobody will ever ask if it's a replica I bet.

That’s flattering, Tim! Thank you!

I guess we’ll see when I start taking it out to some shows. You’re probably right, but I think it’s more related to nobody knows about these cars rather than my build quality. Who would make a replica of a car nobody has heard about, so by default, it has to be real!

I tried to make it as close as I could to the real deal. I probably have as many hours studying the assembly as much as I did building it. I am glad I didn’t go the donor chassis route and fabricated the inner structure like original.

Cheers
Dave

----Dave,,,Don't sweat the dimensions. The originals are all different from each other anyway. I'll bet yours is some where in the middle of all the the originals anyway.....Bill S

Dave, I ran into an old friend of yours today. Three Austin guys took their Corvettes for a country drive. We had the odd years together, 1963, 1965, and 1967.
