We will get into the build as time comes. I’m hopping to get back to the shop and start the on the dismantling process in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned, once we start, we will move quick.

Tell us where you made the fiberglass body? Or did you buy it? You can show in more detail how you will be friends with the fiberglass body with sl!

I've driven a Mercedes from that generation that you're using for the donor car and they do drive very well. Not the sportiest car in the world in stock configuration, but more than enough for a GT car, and I'm sure someone makes a premium set of shocks and springs for that chassis, so it can be made to handle even better.

They’re planets good for this build. I think the power is over 100 usable horsepower from the the original 1955 gulping. Will not disappoint.

Will the project have to go on a Q plate?

What’s a Q plate?

@PeteB2583 5 ай бұрын

@@SoCalGullwing in the UK if you can't retain certain parts of the original car, you have to have a license plate beginning with a Q. This basically says it is a kit car.

@@PeteB2583 makes sense. It’s will require a special construction SB100 certification in California. “Kit car”

It’s tough as the fitment doesn’t come into play till you’re committed and mounted the shell. You will not know how good your shell is unless you have seen first hand a finished product from the shop that Layed the glass. You will have to take a few steps back to make progress every now and then. Specially on Your first build. I guess that’s part of the fun as well, to be able to problem solve.
