No problem Russell for the suspense....
It's an amazing surprise that you make us and a wonderful opportunity for us, Europeans, to see these legendary cars !
But i'm sure of one thing : You're in business with Kobus to do everything for
EBI become a mythic meeting with car like that   Grin Grin Grin
Thanks to all the team (Keith, Kob, Ron, you Ritchie and your nice Scottish team)

it could be argued that you have too many cars  Grin

BUT nobody can argue with the fact that you are one of the few who will go to great lenghts to make this car like the original. this one is for all off us cal-look fans a special car and bringing it back to it's original state.
good luck with this project as well. and i know a lot of people are willing to contribute to the resurection of this car. so must be possible.

cheers

Russell,

Any chance for some pics on how they did the chop? I can see a couple of seams in the c pillar in one of the photos.

Thanks,

They leaned the entire rear section and window forward. For a race car its fine, but for a street car I woudnt recommend it.... but it does keep the proportions very nice Smiley

No they didn't. It's chopped the same way as my old Goss chop-top and my Flashback race car. I'll try and explain how it's done when I get home in a few days. Wink
