IGUANA UNDER CONSTRUCTION !!!

Pictures of old gassers under construction are very very rare to say the least... Many did not survive the time or they remain in hands of their past owner... I managed to find some of the Italy 1 that I posted a while back.

The Iguana is another exception as Bill kept jalously some of them, just in case some day someone ask for them... And they were there, just waiting to be discovered...

Enjoy them as much as they deserve and as much as I did...




























We see here Bill wrenching the front brakes with friends at the garage's home... Those were the days... No idea who was on the wheel but it seems the car was already making some jalous guys ;)



























Under construction picture of the light front end.




























Notice the stock VW steering box being used atop the torsion bar assembly.



























Closeup view of the tranny.

THAT SPECIAL PAINT... :

Did you already seen pictures of the original Iguana prior to lettering? I guess that no... Who might have those pictures except the original owner?

And they are there just below... A very rare photoshoot consisting of 4 pictures taken the same day at the same place, in Bill's garden... Is it a gift or what?























A rear shot of the early Iguana prior to lettering. Lovin' it...























This is the most desirable angle...























A side shot. Note the garage in the background.























3/4 front view... Lip on the rear wing is evident there also.





















Awesome close-up detail on the lettering of the Dodge trailer. Hey Russell, what about a matching truck? You now have no excuse, LOL!
