I would love to see this almost as is at Pebble Beach. So much history in one car.

The build made some good progress this weekend at Wray's. For probably the first time in my lifetime the rear clamshell is complete again, no cut flares, etc. Getting the replacement outer fender pieces to fit the original inner fender pieces was difficult but Wray was able to massage it all together. A tap here, a tap there, and it all flows. Wray likes to say "Metal is clay".

ahhh..... the wizardry of it all .....
Projects take time, lots of time, 7 years into this one, it's taking shape. Had to do some re-working of the front, but it's coming together.

This weekend's work doesn't look like much but it was a major milestone. The frame we are working with was pretty crudely chopped in the front, leaving us to use a 356C from clip for the front beam and suspension. But we had never actually worked it into place to get the wheelbase correct. Wray had a big job at his shop doing some architectural palm trees for a big night club in Boston. I still wanted to work on the car but it would be me doing most of the work, which was a nice change in pace. Normally Wray is going a lot of the shaping with me doing the grunt work but this time I was doing a lot of the work. After much cutting, adding, measuring, eye-balling, we were able to end the weekend was the front wheels matching the stance of the back wheels and the wheelbase being correct. A good weekend.

Three day weekend at Wray's, lots of measuring, cross measuring, calculating, double checking. Wheelbase is set 2100mm or 82.67 inches. It's not always a dramatic weekend, but the work continues.
