Actually, he installed the drum brakes and I watched. We also stuck the larger rear tires back on which makes the car look so much better.

It was a great day for a photo.

He finished this approximately June 2007. He bought all the pieces separately and assembled it himself, including painting and sanding.

He still owns this one and you can occasionally see him tooling around in it. (more…)

He’s had the body for a few months because he took painstaking lengths to sand and refine the interior with wood. He hauled the body over in the Izuzu Trooper. (more…)

Here it is, after we’ve picked it up used.

We picked it up a little premature but we got it for a good deal and we eventually need it.
