8.50 index build

That pretty much was it for the fabrication on the car itself, but one last fabrication project was to build a transport dolly so the car could be sent for powder coating, then body/paint work.

And strip the car down bare...

Thanks for the kind words Jimmy.

Glad to see some are enjoying following the build. I believe it's something not many get to see in detail to get a feel for how much time and work it takes to build a car from scratch.

I thought the Mailbu was unmatched. Man, you have done it again, Todd. I'll say, Ive been a big fan of your skill and abilities, from way back when you built your open trailer, from scratch, and the seeing a few cars you did thru the shop. My hat is off....

Wow !

Thanks Kenny.

Funny you mentioned the trailer build as when I went to an enclosed trailer I sold the custom open to a member here on Classracer. Can't remember his name though.

Sure miss that trailer some days.

Buddy of mine came over the other weekend to help sand on the car to prep for powder coating.

Loading up to drop off to powder coating.

A little over a week later and the powder coat was done.
