    Scott’s work is amazing, his attention to detail is on another level.

    your car looks great! did you recently pick it up from Scott? he was mentioning a signal(?) orange car that he just finished--sounded like a very cool car.

    I had the car shipped to me in August. It was a long 6 years and an embarrassing amount of money, but worth every penny. The color is Signal Orange. It has a Gamroth built 3.5L EFI engine and custom transaxle also built by Jeff at Rothsport.

    down to bare metal!

    Scott and crew have been hard at work getting the car stripped and on the road toward new paint. the partially stripped engine lid looked like topographic map with all the coats of paint and primer from the past 50 years!

    as mentioned before, the smuggler's box had really been carved up at some point, but it's gonna be put back together the right way as part of the build.

    after looking things over, we'll be doing new front fenders given some imperfections in the fenders themselves and the headlight buckets. as expected, one rear seat pan was also pretty shot and will be replaced. the rest of the car was pretty straight and looked good in bare metal.
