Thanks, Phil. The wiper linkage is fighting me. Who’s idea was it to make everything functional, anyway?
  Visiting an exhaust shop today to see if they’ll form the exhaust when I’m ready in a few months. I’ll need to “supervise” while they are doing it and want to make sure they’re ok with it. Owner seems nice when I met him at Summit the other day.  Out to the shop……  Cheers Dave

I already made plans to be buried in it!
The only way this car would leave me would be a substantially large check containing a lot of zeros and commas.  Wipers are mounted and functional, trunk lock functional, and next up I will be forming the bumpers along with windshield trim curved from bronze stock. Cheers Dave

That’s very kind words, thank you! The creativity and challenge in these builds/restorations is my passion. It’s why I go from all makes, models and between foreign and domestic. I think I have a serious case of OCD: Obsessive Car Disorder.
 It’s the challenge and build I love so much. I’m glad it’s entertaining at least for everyone! We’ll see what’s next after this. Perhaps an EV Porsche 356? Maybe a dead-nuts-on Ferrari 250 SWB California as I eluded to earlier? Who knows? Cheers Dave

BREAKING NEWS!! THIS JUST IN!! LIVE FROM TEXAS!! I forgot where I was going with this…
Oh yeah! It appears that my front and side grilles will be made by the people that make them for the owners restoring 507s. In addition to that, I will be adding other trim pieces and bumpers to the list of factory 507 parts for my 507R.Excited? Yes! Anxiously awaiting their arrival? Of course! Financially Broke? Tell me something I don’t already know!! The front grilles are polished and ready to go but the side grilles and other trim will need a bath in chrome. More to come…. Cheers Dave

I think I am going to have to call you "Dave the Machine".
Jewelry is always expensive but worth it. Can't wait to see you driving the car with your wife by your side, just like the 64 Vette!

You guys are awesome! Tuesday was a productive day for 507 stuff. I flew up to Philly to check on the progress of my gas tank and visit two 507 owners and see their cars. One was restored many years ago and the other is about ready for paint. That car is the one that I got all the measurements from last year to accurately build my chassis.
A few details I need to add to mine are the front jack lifting point on the front crossmember. It’s a “V” with a small pad on the base. Next to that is a factory tie down for shipping. Also, heat shielding on the exhaust. Here’s the tank with internal baffling. It’s just about done. Several small details photographed that will help with interior trim and such. I’ve got details on the hardtop now too for when I start fabricating that. All in all, a great visit! Cheers Dave

----I was just about to ask if you were going to do a hardtop too. I should have known better. Of course! Can you find the weatherstrips?....Bill S
