So, what's the new project? A new Space Shuttle? Restoring The Concorde? Retrieving and restoring the moon space buggy?

Now you know why BMW nearly went bankrupt producing that car...

What happened to that fiberglass body you had to have and drug home a year, or so, ago ?? You could build a frame for that and conjure up a suitable drivetrain.

Ha! You guys are awesome!

That body was sold, Mitch. Too many things wrong with it to warrant a nice build. What's next? I'm thinking something a little easier and think I'd like to build this:

We'll see!

More to come next week!

----Awesome, Dave! Beemer looks great and a Cobra would be good if there weren't already so many. I absolutely know that yours would be one of the best, but you will have people asking you constantly if it's fiberglass, and dumb stuff like that. Parts are also too readily available for you to have it stand out like the BMW. Just a few random thoughts from an old fart....Bill S

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.

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.
