Who ever did it, did a great job on it. There was a lot of metal work done on it. I WOULD love to see the build pictures of it. I alway hate when you look someone up from a magazine or a show and your search comes up blank.

I know what you mean. Since this was built 2 hrs from me it would be a short trip to pick up the top is what I was thinking. They showed the before pics of the burb and I was all original and in great shape. Now I just need to figure out where to get a panel. Ha ha ha

With my build sitting at 11 yrs I can appreciate wanting to keep your panel on the road once you get it to the point of driving..

Dion-

Great burb. A lot of nice details. Maybe just provide us a run down of some of the modifications. besides the obvious "roof delete". ha ha.

Nicely done.

Thanks
Marc

Dion-

You are a talented builder my friend. Where is your shop located? I would love to come check it out sometime. Might give me a reason for a joy ride.
I see a 46-48 ford convertible on your web site. That happens to be a dream car of mine. I look forward to seeing that one take shape.

Thanks for showing us your talents.
