UPDATE...... The car is STILL owned by Dave/against advice to preserve the integrity of the car and keep the orig look for historic and value reasons ,Dave has undergone another complete transformation in a different direction with some upgrade modifications as well as paint color.
That's sort of heartbreaking. Might as well just build another car at that point because none of the history survives and the cost outweighs the finished car's value...and that's if it ever gets finished. Oh well.
I always loved that car and other early models on IRS pans because they piss off the newcomers who think it's sacrilege.
