This story brought your 507 build to my mind when I read it Dave:

Wow, that front drive setup is interesting, Tim. I'll have to look closer at that.

Mark, wow! That's awesome! Thanks for posting that. Inspiring for sure!

Front turn signals are in. More soon.....

Cheers
Dave

PS; thanks for the thread title change Steve!

I placed a turn signal under the headlight just to see if the spacing was correct and it looks pretty close. These at the bullet turn signals from a 60s Karmann Ghia. They’re just about identical to the 507s. The angle under the headlight needs to be trimmed down more and I have a bunch of hi-res photos of two 507s under restoration along with several of the bare body painted alone on a body dolly for comparison. I’m planning on mounting the headlight buckets and turn signals over the weekend iffin’ I don’t have to fly.

More to come!!!

Cheers
Dave

Those pictures of the Daytona coupe mockup were taken just a few blocks away from our home in Marina Del Rey, now the back side Bartels Harley Davidson dealer.

Dave,

Looks like all you need is a T-square, a race car driver and some sheet metal... done!

Great photos Bruce. I'm sure Dave will impress and entertain us along the way. Looking forward to it.

Phil
