Nice pics!

This is an original 1959 rolling Pan with correct year Split case Tranny and front end This is a matching numbers pan and vin tag with correct ragtop numbers. The pan is nice has small area of rust as pictured circled in red in the battery tray and two small rips on the driver side back part of Pan also circled in red both are very easy repairs. The transmission is in good working order just needs new boots and to be detailed. It was removed from another 59. I had that was a daily driver so no issues with the transmission. The front end is also nice. This is out of the DMV system and comes with a bill of sale. It will come with rollers.  

I am asking only $2000 or best offer

A few detailed shots from the Airmighty show.

One week to JPM!!!!!

So I need to catch this thread up, did we make our goal, if you follow me on social media you will know the answer to this, if you don't then buckle up as a lot of work got done in the last few weeks.

I left the thread with a pile of work left to do, the car didn't have an engine and was only at ride height as we'd filled the back seat area with tractor weights. Richie let me know that a lack of cases on the market meant that the engine meant for this project wasn't going to be available in time. Now i do own another cal looker and all eyes settled on the 67 with it's ultra reliable 2276cc also built by Richie, the decision was made to make the show the 67 was going to have to give up it's engine in the short term. So we fired into that job and soon had the 67s engine in the Ragtop. Around this point i buggered off on two weeks holiday with a list of jobs a mile long and a list of parts to buy equally long.

So the rear end even with the engine in was in the air so we made the decision to fit a set of adjustable spring plates from Cagero, so they were ordered so they would be waiting when i got home. The plan for Airmighty was my 78yo parents were going to join us and take in the VW vibes, however my mum got run over by a mobility scooter breaking her hip and ankle. That and the subsequent hip replacement to paid to them joining us. Due to this i needed to be help as much as i can at home, but my exhaust from A1 and carbon wiring cover were in Northern Scotland, a 10 hour round trip for me. Thankfully Russell arranged for them to be delivered to my house while i was away. Which meant when i got back i could get fired straight into it. and that's what i did resulting in the car firing into life on monday 1st september...3 weeks to go before the show.
