I have this car in a shop being restored, and would like to share its progress with you. After two years of planning, I am very excited that it is in its final stages and looking forward to seeing it when I return from Korea next week.
The first picture is of the transmission, the last thing that wasn't rebuilt. I had a J-Type overdrive unit added to it from John Esposito at Quantum Mechanics in CT. John was an awesome help, patient, and accommodating. I highly recommend John.
The second is a picture of the body from the front. The shop put on all new fenders and rear deck, primed it with epoxy primer, then sprayed it with the carmine red. He left the underside of the bonnet untouched so that there would be something original on the car.
The last picture is of the first badge going on the car. I think this should be a proud moment for Sports Car Haven (www.sports-car-haven.com)as the shop has been working months on it. Lorne Fritz is legendary for his craftsmanship in that part of PA, and I am so lucky to have heard about his shop through word-of-mouth. He is the best I have ever met, and a really nice, honest guy cut from the old mould that made America great.
It's going to be difficult to wait for it to be done, but then to leave it in storage will be worse. My next move/assignment is to Switzerland at the end of November, but I will have it when I return to PA for visits. I can't wait to contribute a shot to the "through my windshield" string!
