    Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
    SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.

    My roadster that i built back in 1999 has tight gaps.
    It makes the body work look better. More pleasing to my eye anyway.
    I have to wait for the engine/trans to be installed, and the car put on its wheels for the final...
    Thank you for the complement.

    Yes...
    Mainly due to the unorthadox painting proceedures I had to deploy... due mainly to health/exposure.
    The car parts were on and off the car more than anyone can possibly imagine.
    And now..... The car is complete and will not need to be taken apart again.
